More, I remember Chick comparing these... D

The "K" lightly inked and a couple more views of the hold down bolt.. D

Here is what I THINK is all assembly line correct for my car. Right down to the dual ribbed ANCO wiper blade rubber. I have them all boxed with other like items for shows. Danny

More.. Chick, I think this is what you wanted to see?... D

Blades.. These are the dual rib blades.

Danny, Parts look correct and very nice. Thanks for sharing photo's. Could you measure the battery hold down bolt from the bottom of the head to the tip? George

Yes, I have some not correct info on my build thread on wiper blades put on a couple weeks ago that I will be updating but from what I have seen and researched Danny the blades are correct along with the correct battery hold down clamp and bolt. Those clamps are not so easy to find as the batteries ate them up over the years.
One thing, did you polish the wiper arms as it looks pretty shiny. Here are some originals I'm using on our 68Z after some clean up.

George, I will pull it back out and measure it for ya tomorrow night. 

Chick, no major polishing as they about came that way. Just a good cleaning and I loaded the blades. Looks like you have 2 different blades? Different fonting, letter depth and spacing? Especially the USA? I am gonna have to dock ya 2 points for that...  :D  ... D

With the number they made per day I'm sure or would assume that had more than one stamper. Wonder how many thousand they made a day?  Another is the location is slightly different and one is definitely deeper in impression. Glad you are not a judge! LOL

I used to have 20/10 vision, me and Chuck Yeager.. I would have made a great judge  :D  But those days are gone, still no glasses at 54, but when light is low, need readers.
Also noticed some machine creasing, see picture.. D

George,
The measurement from the bottom of the head, past the captured washer to the end of the threads = 1".  Looks to be right at exactly an inch... D

I'm confident they are from the press dye when formed. Again, more than one dye being used I'd assume. JohnZ I'm sure could give some #'s on what was being produced as it had to be Huge!
