Not handed but there are two different sizes!! Early Splits before the days of shiny trims in the rubbers were larger and the rubber seal correspondingly thinner in section. I discovered this the hard way forty years ago when I rebuilt a '49. (TJJ 62) Rod.

The only splits that had the trim in the rubbers weere [i]Zwitter[/i]s, and then only the deluxe model. [i]Rattletrap has [/i]these and so smaller glassses. All 'proper' splits pre Oct52 had no shiny trim.
