Anybody recognize these?

[JSabah]

Does anybody recognize these escutcheons for the interior door handle and window crank and know on what cars they were used on (other than Plymouth woodies) .  It was suggested that maybe they came from a truck.  I’m missing one set (for one handle). They are fairly flat - about 1/4” and recess into the door. They are two parts with a spring between (spring is not in pictures). I’ve searched eBay for period car parts (1949) but haven’t seen anything like them.

I have seen them on the old dodge tour busses like used on the yellow stone busses ? all wood construction from the front window back even the doors

My 46 WD15 has them on the door handle and window cranks. Maybe a bit worse for wear. That's what keeps the pins from dropping out that hold the handles on.

Here's another set on ebay. There are probably more. Google is your friend.

After weeks of searching with no luck, I decided to see if I could make one myself. I happen to have some heavy brass sheet pieces that I picked up from the metal supply remnants pile for pennies some time ago. With a little research on brass metal forming, I learned about “metal stumping” . I tried forming my first piece without tempering and then a second with.(the tempered piece worked better). Then I cut and formed (around a socket) the depth piece and also cut a disk. When soldered all together it didn’t come out half bad. A little wet sanding and buffing (so I could see the defects) and here are pics of the new and the original. Definitely not cost affective when you account for the hours it took and the chroming that’s still needs to be done, but as I wanted it to be like original I had no alternative.

   Nice fabrication, JSabah.  Young Ed was referring to your other query. It's a  32-11166-1 escutcheon, from Macs Auto Parts, that looks like yours'. They seem to fit flush to the panel, and the profile may be slightly different. The center spring loaded part, might work for your replication.
