Antiquing and found these.
Look legit, thoughts?
Tune up kit is unopened.

Cool for sure. The originals that I have seen were on different colored paper. With that in mind my first thought is a overrun for some of the ones Branda had made starting 30 plus years ago.

Maybe I'm Mistaken but those look like the center emblems of the 68 or later hubcap.

My Steering Wheel button looks nothing like those.

68 hubcap emblems are different color and do not have the GT500 or GT350 designation. FYI nether do the 67 hubcap emblems. You may have a replacement button emblem on your steering wheel.

It would be good to know the diameter of the foil emblems in the Original Posters first two images.  They do look to be on roll-stock and both GT350 and GT500 versions. 

As Bob has stated, the original '67 steering emblems did have the model designation and do look a bit different, more gold and embossed, see attached GT350 version.

There were issues with the original steering wheels and replacements had horn button emblems that did not have the model designation so they could be used on either model, or sold Over-the-Counter.  See attached...

I just joined today....let me see if I can post a pic of my horn button.

Imgur is way too big a file/pic.

my button looks exactly like JD's second pic.....sheesh.

Now I want the correct foil insert. That should be cheap.

Yep. That's the service decal.

Convert your pics to jpeg's.

These are reproductions. Jim Johnson RIP out of Chattanooga, Tn. had them made up in the 90's. He sold them on eBay. Jim sent me 50-100 of them, most of which I still have.
