Default Door Handle I.D. ?

The inner door handle pictured below, was installed on my '36 coupe when I purchased it. There was only this one - all the others were mismatched.

The handle is in great shape and is rather heavy, compared to others of this vintage. It also may be nickle plated, but I'm not sure. Could be Mercury or Lincoln? I looked throgh several vendor's catalogues, but didn't find anything quite like it. Appears to be high quality, so I don't think it's after market, but I've been wrong before.

Any help in I.D.'g it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-Bob

Bob, by pure coincidence, I have also thought I'd been wrong before, but subsequently discovered that I was only mistaken.

Not Ford, Not GM (would be a spline mount). Could be Chrysler. Try the AACA "Identify me" forum...
