George Albright 83 Posted May 6 They are step plates off s 1920s car. Almost certain aftermarket as there was no Tiffany car built. George Albright Ps I might have a use. Will pay $75 plus shipping. Gnalbright@gmail.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For Oldsmobile's 75th Anniversary, there was the 1972 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Tiffany Edition, but the only thing "Tiffany" on it was the electric clock; not the door step plates!!!

46 woodie 436 Posted May 6 Tiffany Electric Car Company, 1913-1914, Flint Michigan. The Tiffany succeeded the Flanders electric car. It was powered by a Wagner electric motor, with tiller type steering and was sold for $750. The name Tiffany was only used from October 1913 until March 1914, after which the Flanders name was revived. I doubt however that those step plates were for the Tiffany Electric.

John_S_in_Penna 2,115 Posted May 6 Maybe the AACA Library has some information on the Tiffany electric car. If so, one could at least see what logo they used, and see whether it was the same semi-circle design as on those step plates. I tend to agree with the others, figuring they are aftermarket items. With the "Tiffany" name so well known, the manufacturer was probably counting on using that name to add cachet to his product. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty_OToole 1,421 Posted May 7 Just to muddy the waters there was a Tiffany car made in the 1980s. It had nothing to do with the step plates which are obviously 1920s or even teens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zepher 220 Posted May 7 Rusty, the lines on that car are all sorts of wrong. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, with the headlights coming out of the fenders, I was just certain this was a Pierce Arrow...but then the VW Beetle front turnsignals threw me off! 🤯 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike6024 654 Posted May 7 We still need to know who made this one. If it was not from a "Tiffany Electric" could it be from the jewelry and lamp maker? I'd say no since they used "Tiffany & Co." since well before the 1920's. TIFFANY & CO.—founded in New York City in 1837 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe in Canada 538 Posted May 10 (edited) The sun visors on my 30 Cadillac have Tiffany stamped in the frame. I am sure they are original to the car by the imprints on the factory head liner and mounting screw holes. Originally the nickel was also covered.
