Is this a split beetle shifter ?

[restojohnny]

I removed this a very long time ago from one of my 50 splits but I’m not 100% sure it is a split or an oval can I get some info identifying the correct year/era beetle it is correct for. It measures 12 inches from lower shifter base to tip of shifter. And the ball has no pin just round. It’s also an 8mm thread

... yes, that looks correct for a 1950 bug... i'd say, used through 1955... locating pin, on the ball began with the 1956s

Splits had a smaller ball than later cars. I think they went to the larger ball in '53 or '54.

That’s a 1954-55 shifter

Pre ‘52 Beetle shifter was different in two ways. #1, fulcrum Ball was much smaller in size. #2, pivot point was much higher up the shaft
