[Tigers] Request: Engine Tag Stamping

[Ron Fraser]

The big question here is about the original Font for this decal.

 

What style Font?

What size Font?

 

I have no expertise in this field so no help there.

 

It would be nice if someone can identify the original Font or a Font that is very similar.

 

It is very possible that is just a typical machinist’s stamp set something the Cleveland Foundry normally stocked.

Any locksmith shop should have punches they use to stamp keys.  Not sure how close they might look to what you need.

Go to harbor freight and buy a set of  punch stamps, use a piece of tape to keep the line straight and go for it.

                Its possible but don’t know for sure – the Cleveland Foundry may have used a war surplus dog tag machine for these.

I’m just throwing that out there for the possibility.   Ford made war produces and they all needed tags so some sort of war surplus machine is possible maybe one Ford already had on hand.

Hi Tiger People -

I want to replace my worn engine tag.  I got a fresh tag from Rick, but the problem is that I cannot find a way to stamp the new tag with the engine info.  Anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Randy
