Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have come across a very early car security device that is labelled "Auto Theft-Signal System" that has a patent date of 1914. It is teardrop shaped and installs on a spoked wheel to deter theft.Any one have any info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have one, it's painted red with a black and brass nametag. It is just as you describe. If I can dig it out I'll post a pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I have two made by Miller-Chapman, wish someone would reproduce the brass tags. Wonder if there is a need to start a Club club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 That's it Bob! The very one. I wonder if they came in different sizes? If I could get a key made for mine I would be afraid of actually using it for display on a wheel as it would likely chip paint on the felloe and spoke.
