Hey - Not sure if this should be in the oval or 58+ but I’m starting here as I’ve had several beetles over the years and I’m not sure where this came from. Really nice horn button with black bezel and gold Wolfsburg. Has VW stamping and part number 111.951.511 A on it. Any experts able to date that for me?

Thanks in advance!

Doh! Should have don’t that to begin with. Crest is pretty plain but i have kept this separate from my other general parts for some reason. Who knows…

Any thoughts? I’ve seen different spring configurations or clip in styles and of course repops. Trying to decide if it’s worth anything to sell but want to make sure I advertise it correctly. Don’t currently have a stock wheel to test it in. Thanks!

'56 to '59........or is that not close enough?

That works and makes sense on the bugs I’ve had. Was going to sell it so I wanted to know what it fit. Not really sure what it’s worth. At least it’s a real VW vs repop.
