1967 Windshield Wiper Blade Question

[Carl R.]

Hi yall!

The recent postings regarding late 1966-67 wiper blades prompted me to examine my car. After viewing several Naber's cars, I decided to replace the "V-cross section" blades on my car with a set from Long Island with "elliptical cross-section". After rummaging around I found the set I removed. Markings are as follows:

Sharp V-cross secion stamped "TRICO Made In USA" with numbers: 3058180 CAN 63 & PAT 2752626 2807822

In addition I purchased a supposed NOS set of 1967 "ribbed" inserts bearing the part numbers ANCO #680 PAT 2782445

Are either/any of these the proper "original" equipment? I realize this is pretty minuatae but - I have faith in yall!

Thanks,

Carl

Your original TRICO with the sharp v shape are correct. I not sure on the number stamping but some have TRICO stamped on only one end and others are stamped on both ends. I would consider non TRICO blade holders incorrect. Blades are of the ribbed configuration.
