My stepson recently acquired a 1927 tudor. We believe the car has spent its entire life in Minnesota. It has a bumper badge that has either IHD or IIED cast into it. Have any of you seen this badge before or know what it represents?

Years ago I had this bumper that said "Tied". Looks similar enough for me to assume it's the same company.

That first letter looks like a T. TIED it is.

Any idea what TIED might be related to? Some type of organization.

My guess is it was a manufacturer, but I’ve never found any info.

We have the same bumper on the rear of our 27 Fordor. It came from Mike Peterson in Minnesota.
