Vintage Radiator shop Brass Tags-Show 'em if you got em

2 Attachment(s)

While having my GMC radiator serviced, I notice a little tag that didn't seem to belong... it was from and old radiator shop. I liked it so after the old school shop I went to rattle-canned my radiator black for some reason, :confused: I cleaned up the little tag.

Then on my recent acquisition, I noticed another one! I really like these little nods to the trucks history, past locations... anyone else find one on their radiator that speaks of its past life?

It looks like the tags were stamped on the same press. Serial numbered so they could dig out the paperwork and know exactly what they had done to the radiator and when.

It also shows that those shops took a lot of pride in their work.
