It says inside an oblong box, Genuine Chevrolet Govenor, The Chevrolet enclosed within the Chevrolet BowTie.Second line in this box says Handi"Vari-Speed"
Below this oblong box it says MOD.V5s 141
Manufactured by
KING-SEELEY CORP
ANN ARBOR MICH.U.S.A.
Below this is a list of patent numbers.
Another spot shows a VHT 9 46 stamp
Another stamped number shows a 3664924
Do I have something worthwhile here or should I put it in my scrap pile? Thanks for any info. Jerry
