1946 Dash Base

[Sidehacker]

In 1946 were the dash bases cadmium plated, parkerized, or painted. I have seen all three with all three owners saying that they were 100% sure that theirs were original. It's been a while since I asked a question but I really need to hear what our experts have to say . Thanks in advance

1936-46 All correct ones I've seen are cad. Inquire of Perry Ruiter (Email: perry@ruiter.ca). He knows. I'd bet your life.
