David, I obviously have trouble ID'ing the horn buttons. It would be a great service if you had a chart and posted it. Thank you

Re: Horn button year ID?
The difference is the color of the button and the surrounding part to operate the car's lights. Until May, 1936 those components were non-metallic Benton Gray on deluxe model passenger cars and subsequently Russet Brown as in Mike's photo.
Andy, Sorry, I'm no expert on horn buttons in general, just those I know with confidence ('32-'37). Last edited by DavidG; 07-23-2021 at 12:03 PM. Reason: revised wording |

Regarding other details/features in the horn, light switch, and rod assembly, I couldn't determine any other differences in those assemblies that I have in my collection that range from early '35 to late '36.

Re: Horn button year ID?
Yes, the only difference is in the color of the plastic and it was molded in, not painted as I first wrote. I guess I was thinking of what was required to restore them to like new condition as in the photo below; sorry.
