Horn button, 911/912?

[John Wurner]

This horn button is new, not the usual 356 type.
Perhaps 911/912? About 1 1/4" tall
Would like to know what I am selling.

What does the back look like? Refers to "glue in"...

[John Wurner]

Dick
I think the glue in is the crest area.
The back is just like the B/C type.

I think the glue in is for the crest area.
The back looks like the B/C button.

john, it looks like a mismatch. Looks like an A horn button in a hockey puck swb housing. It would have originally had a leather embossed center with a very fragile chrome ring holding it in.

The hockey puck was mostly used on 912s, the 911 got the batwing.

[John Wurner]

The top of the horn button is flat, not like the A horn button.

[John Brooks]

my early 912 is like that with out the horn wings, but has a leather embossed crest in the center. That may be an early aftermarket with a colored crest.

[Jules Dielen]

this is what a SWB horn button looks like. The base version has no 'ears', the deluxe version had ears and is commonly called a batwing. The LWB then got a 'butterfly'. I think John B is onto something.

[John Wurner]

I think that may be correct.

Jules is right about the base. The glued on face crest element may not be a factory part but from an aftermarket steering wheel (lenkrad).
