The pictured handles were part of a bunch of parts from a friend who had restored a Tickford TB.

As you can see, they are five inches long and one has a missing lock.
Any ideas?  Probably VA SA or WA I would think.

Hi Allan, 
The 5 inch handles were common for the TA, TB, VA, and SA Tickfords.  Not sure about the WA Tickford, but likely for that  one as well.   The Saloons had different handles, also different 'bases'.
 The Tickfords had octagonal bases (escutcheons?)  but were positioned vertically.
Someone in Australia is reproducing them and may need a pair for 'authenticity...:}
Cheers,  Lee Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI   TA2969 Tickford, SA2333 Tickford, both with 5" door handles....
