I have come across a pair of bumper crescents like the 57 front bumper crescents however these look like they are diecast in a sand mold. They each weigh 3 pounds 3 ounces. They are very solid and very heavy. Can anyone tell me what year these would be and are they NOS early?

Re: c1 bumper crescent
Back in the '70's(?), someone was making them out of brass, since there were no others to be had. You may have found a pair of them. -

Re: c1 bumper crescent
agree with dave. lots of bronze casting were produced in the 70's as clones for the c-1 parts(53-5 gull wings and the 6" piece just behind a 53-5 door were other examples besides the crecents). they were usually awkard to plate and even worse to install. we're lucky have far better clones nowadays.mikeComment
