Your handles are two passenger side locking handles used for 1930-31. If one is brass plated, it was originally nickle plated. Stainless followed about mid year. 1931 the same handle had a tumbler replaced that could be removed without taking the handle apart. Your picture shows the top handle is a 31 with the removable tumbler and the bottom handle would be early 30. These handles were used on all standard closed cars. Pickup, coupe, tudor, sport coupe.


By the way, most states municipalities during Model A days had a law that said if you parallel park, you must exit and enter your automobile through the passenger side door. Just look at old black and white movies from the 20's through the forties. You will see that law in action. Dale.
