go to ebay and laugh at the prices there. To tease I have about 12 left but not ready to let loose any more (by the way far less than ebay prices the last 4 I sold)

They do repro these correct? Do you know how to tell the differences between original and repro?
I have a set but don't know if its original or not.
As Load said, I've seen what they describe as originals go up pretty high on eBay

Magnets stick to the original. Rivets are different too but not sure how.
originals (not necessarily NOS) have a pat. number on one of the clips.

Hi jax/Ed,
These are photos of the frames from my 71.
They're what came with the car from St.Louis.
Regards,
Alan

If the clip in the back is not stainless it is not original. All repo's have plain steel to hold plate. These clips start rusting right away. I bought one and when I received it , both clips on back were rusting badly.
Bent my original trying to polish it on a buffer.
