Kamei parcel tray: What is the difference?

Dogo

I've come across a couple of different pics of Kamei parcel trays; one has a long tab running the length and others have 4-5 small tabs. See pics
What's the difference?

BTW, are these coveted at all or not really? What should a nice one go for, ballpark?

The tray with the 5 tabs had a piece of card board that fit in the tabs and it followed the contour of the body.

Since we are on the subject, does anyone have a original Kamei catalog showing this style tray in it? I have owned this one for over 20 years, and have yet to know exactly what years they produced this style.

You are correct sir! I've had this one for some time as well and don't know much about it. I can say the masonite thing is a copy my Dad had made of the original which was broken. It certainly looked as old as the tray, but who knows. Actually it's not screwed on, the original had rivited on tabs on it that went behind the tray and folded around the back frame to hold it on. Weird!

I was searching for a parcel tray ID topic. I guess this is the best place for my question.

Any idea who made this one?
It has thumb wheels, and expanding posts to pinch it in place.
Easily installed and removed.
(It has been dyed silver)
It has a fabric net.

Its going in a Volksrod...dont worry about the shifter...

I cant help you on the make of your tray, but I like it. Cool

You said that the center portion is net, is the outer frame aluminum? Or, does it just look like that because someone painted it?

Im going to have to inspect it a little closer.
Pretty sure its steel, covered with material.

Is the Kamei tray with the tie type mesh earlier than the solid plastic mesh? I have a feeling the former is oval era while the latter is 60's era?

I had a '62 with the plastic type. I bought the car from the OG owner, and he said it was installed as an add on at purchase in Germany. The tray was ruined, and the stripped frame is hanging on the garage wall. Macramé' anyone? Lol

I have some information for you.

@VOLKSWAGNUT - Yours is from GHE. See GHE Happich brochure 1959.

@beetleman217
1959 GHE Happich brochure: Kamei with 2 screws to hold the card board and solid plastic mesh.
1960 Gute Fahrt Magazine: Kamei with 0 screws and 0 tabs to hold the card board and tie type mesh.
1963 Gute Fahrt Magazine: Kamei with 3 tabs to hold the card board and solid plastic mesh.
1966 Gute Fahrt Magazine: Kamei with smaller card board mounted on the rear of parcel tray and solid plastic mesh.

I think Kamei made the parcel tray with the tie type mesh and the solid plastic mesh at the same time.
