I really do not know whether the plugs on my roadster are original, which is why I did not post sooner. I bought my car restored and it appears that it was in excellent shape prior to restoration, so I think there is a good chance that they are original. If not, I suspect I will hear about it in short order.

Mark is correct,..they do look great.

It could be the the camera angle,..but when I looked at the photos for the first
time, I thought the top plug is too flat. The 2 screws at the bottom look much
better...maybe a tad more radius is needed.

Here is a picture of one of the filler plugs on my 1931 Vicky. The plugs were installed by the dealer in 1931 when the dual side mounts were installed. The plugs are rubber.

Very interesting as rubber must have been used as a substitute product if the dealer ran outbid the correct plugs. You can see by my picture above the correct ones that screw into the holes.
