[Tigers] Really Odd Parts Question.. Alpine Choke?

That's an interesting picture.

It looks much the same as an Alpine choke knob but perhaps the emblem is different. I couldn't tell from the picture.

Alpine choke knobs are lettered C.

I attached a picture of an Alpine knob and also the end that connects to the carb.

I think the Alpines used different cable lengths depending on the carb setup - Zenith, Solex or Stromberg.
