Guest marlin65 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Anyone have a clue as to what the metal screw on dealer ID tags are really called? Not the plastic stick-on or decals but pot metal. I've tried looking on Ebay but don't know what to type in for a search word. If anyone has one especially with Plymouth on it I would be interested and would really really like one from Ohio. Anyone?

Guest Robin Coleman Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Marlin, perhaps the easiest thing to do would to locate a dealer in your area who still uses screw on ID tags and try to buy one then use the screws. Try that or look around local salvage yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This would sort of be a nice oppurtunity to make or create one of your own design, perhaps based on a local dealer or the original dealer if known. Make the design out of clay on a flat surface and create a rubber mold of it. From there you can pour plastic into the rubber mold and either paint it or send it out for chroming. The below link is based on someone else's use of the Alumilite product for making distributor caps.Casting Resin and Silicone Mold Making Rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I would just google in "auto dealer logo plates" and see what comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't know what the technical name for them is, but I'd call it badge. There's a guy who sells these frequently on eBay. I'll have to see if I can find him.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 OK, here he is. Right now he's not selling anything, but if you click on completed items, you'll see some of the badges that he has sold.eBay Seller: 58buickfan: items on eBay MotorsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 They're called dealer Name Plates (also Monograms), according to this ad from the 1963 Automotive News Almanac. The Benmatt Organization's listing shows them to be makers of license plate frames, monograms, and auto luggage carriers.Nice to know.TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 from what i can work out , it was the screws that held the plate on that he wanted the name for . my termanolagy (don,t know if thats spelt right , its 54 years since i finished school )but here in New Zealand the screw would be called a pan head self tapping screw,the size you wpould have to supply yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsfan Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well, since he's looking for one from a Plymouth dealer, and preferably one from Ohio, I think he's after the nameplate and not just the screws.Here's another eBay seller with some listed:eBay Seller: connors834: Parts Accessories items on eBay MotorsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marlin65 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks to all tha responded. Sorry I've been away from the board for a few days. I will certainly give all the leads a try and yes I was referring to the entire metal plate not just the mounting screws. Again you guys are the best.
