1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[David Dunlop]

The remains you are wondering about, Robert, are standard wooden window sash locks. These were a common household item with the older vertical sliding windows.

You are missing the flip-over locking posts from them. In the lower position, they prevent the window from being raised. In the upper position, they keep it from falling shut.

Should still be readily available from dealers of antique window restorations and repairs.

That doesn't surprise me. Many CMP parts, especially those in wireless trucks, are simply things that were available in the commercial market at the time, and many of which you can still pick up today made by 'Stanley' at Canadian Tire. The HUW bin closures are regular barrel locks, The Fox engine access cover is a screen door hinge and the water can has two Stanley door pulls.
