Serial plate identification ?

Post by Rich Bingham » Thu May 22, 2025 4:11 pm

From FB, an individual posted this picture of a serial plate found by metal-detecting and wanted to know if it was from a Model T. Can anyone shed some light on this ?

An interesting find !

Here's an early 1909 serial plate for comparison.

I also seem to remember them being NRS and early T cars.
If this was on a T would this have been a water pump car? It was after the 2 lever cars by just a little bit.

It is a 1906 to early 1909. I don't know how the serial numbers went for the NRS cars and knowing how Henry did things they could of used
the last they had of the NRS car plates on the early 1909 T's
