Technical Ford Brass Sill Plate

What car would use this brass plate? Excellent condition with patina. Maybe 1920s? It's not mine. I just happened to see it at an antique store.

WAG: very early Model T

 

Did you grab it?!

 

1912 and earlier Model T. They reproduce them but this one looks like an original.

You could use it as a key fob for the mens room door at the gas station...

 

If you didn't buy it ynot ?

 

It is for an Australian T, That is why it is upside down!

 

No. Not yet. Rare??

Grab it! Would make great garage art.

 

Ok. Should I polish it up?

..........I would, but that's just me.

 

OK, I'll ask, how much are they asking for it?

 

Sure. $30. Pretty reasonable. If someone here needs it then I'll mail it to them. HAMB love!

I'd put it in the house!

 

I'll hang it up if no one on the HAMB needs it for a car!

It's the kind of stuff you find at Estate sales and wonder where is the Mate to it.

 

No it goes on the other side of the car.

 

Absolutely! This little antique store has all sorts of oddities. I'll post a pic of the store in a bit. Also got some wax cans and a bottle of "new" Turtle wax!

Post it on The Ford Barn ,

 

as a general rule, model T's are cheap, but early model T's are not cheap. that part looks to not be worn too badly, may be worth some dough to an early T guy. i would have bought it too

 

Ok. I wanted to see if one of us needs it first. Here's a pic of the store. She said it came from a hoarder's estate.

Here it is cleaned up a bit. Not polished. Just cleaned.

Interesting when doing a Google search. It doesn't seem to be in production at all. Mac's did make it at one time but sold only as a pair. How do you tell an Old repro from a pretty nice Gennie? Photos look exactly like yours but without the little scratches. Were it me I'd say "Kool wall hanger" and find a place for it.

 

It's original I'm sure. Came from an abandoned house in Arkansas. Got several 1950s and 1960s cans from there also. Crazy I know.

Love the Ford logo on that plate. I have used All of those wax products, it's so much easier now.

 

I don't know if that's a step plate or a sill plate or something else entirely, but it surely is cool. Whatever you wind up attaching it to, be sure to use brass fasteners to maintain the cool factor.

 

Thank you! Will do!

Excellent wall hanger.
Maybe a pretty cool dash insert.
