alands94 0 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hello, I found these with a stash of car parts. Any idea what they might be? Thanks in advance! Link to post Share on other sites
George Albright 165 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 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. 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 758 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 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 3,252 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty_OToole 2,012 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 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. 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! 🤯 Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Shaw 1,679 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Well mike6024, that settles that question.... Link to post Share on other sites
mike6024 950 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Joe in Canada 848 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (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.
