Default Reproduction Wiper Blade/Holder

I'm looking for decent wiper blades/holders for my 67. Long Island has a wiper that is described as 'Wiper Blades (Dull SS)(Trico)(pr) (no Ribs) STAMPED ON BLADE TRICO'.

Anyone purchased these? If so, how do they look?

I'm not looking for anything to be judged, just a set that has a reasonable vintage look. I bought a pair from NAPA today that are what they call Vintage wipers. They look OK, but are painted steel and not stainless steel.

Thanks,

DON

I can't comment on the LICS wiper blades, but...

Since you already bought some new blades, why not take them out of the painted holders and put them in your old stainless ones?

I don't have anything on the car that is close to correct. It just has some typical FLAPS type blade holders.

I'm trying to find holders that are reasonably priced, are stainless and look somewhat like the originals.

Thanks,

Don
