My 'Barn find"

[37 Coupe]

Seller claimed it was in a barn for years, who knows. Could be an old stamping or one made by those reproducing Ford pickup tailgates.It is a solid brass plate 1/16" thick and it is 11 1/2" X 11 1/2",dimensionally looks the same as 1937-1940 Ford tailgate center logo. It is really a pretty thick piece to have stamped even though it is brass.I bought it to hang on garage wall. Looks like it has some age to it,came out of a barn in New York.

Thank You,seller said it actually was hanging on the side of a barn for years and this was in New York. He knew nothing about Ford stamping in the area. Who knows it could be 70 years old or 10.

I'm guessing that it is a piece from a Ford Motor Company dealer display item.

Looks "cast". If it is stamped, there will be an impression (female) from the punch on the back side.

It is not cast it is stamped and it is a pretty thick piece at 1/16" to do this even though it is softer than steel. In some areas you can see through it where the metal could not stretch anymore and broke through.
