I would say it was a replacement spring that was made up some here in the past. Or as mentioned it was from another car but it fit, so it was used. During the Depression of 29 people used what they could get. I remember my Dad talking about running a Graham on 5 cylinders because he couldn't get a piston and rings. Removed the piston and pushrods and drove a block of wood in the cylinder!!!
