67 Anco wiper holder ID

[Dereck S.]

Need help identifying if my 67 Anco wiper holders are period correct. They have been on my car since 1986. They are peaked with Anco written on them and the number 15 on one side. The finish is not polished. It's a flat silver. It's my understanding that both Anco and Trico were used in 66 and 67. I've never seen Anco wiper holders on an 67 car at any show. Are my Anco holders period correct or service replacement parts? Attached are some pictures.

Your 15" Anco wiper blades with the plastic button are replacements.

Thanks David, I thought that was the case. I've read a lot of threads regarding 67 holders. My take-away from all those threads is that for an early September 66 built car like mine that it is likely the correct holders would be peaked Trico holders (stamped on both ends) without "Made is USA" on them? It sounded like the "Made in USA" came on later built 67 cars. Is this correct?

Dereck,
The 15" ANCO wiper blades with the plastic button that you have look much like the GM # 3888296 ANCO wiper blades (WITHOUT any plastic button) that were used on the 1966 Corvette and other 1966 models.
I have several NORS sets of these blades. I also have a pair of NOS 3888296 blades on my 1966 Corvette.
!5" Trico "dull" wiper blades were also used on the 1966 models.
