PV wiper blades

Paul Lincoln · Apr 1st, 2011, 13:54

Found these in the bottom of a box when clearing out some of my mothers things. Would have been bought by my Grandfather who owned several PV's (in Sweden) - don't know how long ago!
The packaging is dirty but completely intact.
I've no idea if they are worth anything but I didn't have the heart to just bin them. Anyone interested?

Yes please, I'd like these! I have a '58 544. Let me know how much you would like inc p+p.

I don't know whether these are commonly available or as rare as hens teeth so make me a sensible offer and they are yours - I'd like them to go to a good home rather than the dustbin.

They are neat but not super rare or valuable, in my mind. The packing is the from the late 70's to mid 80's. I wonder if the rubber is dried out like most old wiper blades I have seen. They look better packed than most but I would think they are an interesting converstation part or display piece.

Good luck with them.

Chris, that is a very good point I hadn't considered, if they were made in the 70's the rubber is very likely to be well past it's best and as you say the're not exactly that difficult to get new, I have had plenty of nos wheel cylinders which have all needed new seals for the very same reason. Sorry Paul but I think I'll pass on these this time, good luck with the sale however.
