FWIW...I don't think anyone really cares if the embossed area on the head is square or rounded off. If it's a nearly identical 69 column and fits the same, it's rare and it's valuable.

Whats even more confusing now is I have three different samples of the "LOCK" font from this thread alone. :dunno: (See Photos)
I agree I am pretty convident this will fit a 1969 Camaro anyways. As we all know any Vintage tilt Column is a very desirable part anyways.;)

Yes and I forgot to make mention...the embossed word "LOCK" on a 1969 column is vertical to the lock and includes the pointer as shown behind the letter K. The later year columns have the word horizontal to the switch and don't incorporate the pointer. It then became a separate embossed feature of the upper cast.

And here's another example of an NOS Ignition Switch Cylinder I have here with the Red stripe. Correct GM service part for 69 only columns.

That red paint would easily strip away after 53 years IMO on most key cylinders and also many would get replaced through the different ownerships over the years.

Both my 70 Chevelle's have that "LOCK" font you show for a 1969 Camaro BTW ? I really don't think it was like this for a 69 Camaro.

1970 Chevelles' at least,all got that "LOCK" wording design & red marker indicator you show on the ignition switch too,regardless if tilt or not.
I'm pretty sure other GM A-Bodies did too.
