I picked up a pair of early hooks... then another single (on the right).
The one on the right has a little fatter hook tips & lower hook seems to sweep upward a little more than either of 'the pair'.

Is there a difference in them year to year... or do I just have a manufacturing variance?
Thx,
E

I'll check mine to see if they have differences but that seems fairly minor. I did notice on the other style of early westy coat hooks (the 2 hook) that the mount holes are different on some and I couldn't use all the ones I had on my westy. I think most are in a straight vertical line but I have at least one that is offset like the large hooks in your photos.

Can someone please post pics of the screws used for these coat hooks?

I have some that are chrome and some that are not; wondering which are correct.

one original to the 55 westy is attached to the bus, compared with one from an early bay westy (loose)

Screws for the coat hook look to be the same as for the ceiling trim.
Ceiling trim ones are M3.5x13
Doug, I just bought a grip of them in stainless (minimum order size was $25 Rolling Eyes ) & I will have extra... shoot me a PM if you want to get some from me. Even happened to be German. Original were probably just nice zinc plated... going by pics only.

They're number 18 here:
