Description:

Most frequently, these were bolted directly to the curved rounded fenders, radiator shells, outer wheel arches, or cylindrical boiler bodies of commercial vehicles. State/Provincial Department of Transport compliance marker, a commercial trucking fleet badge, a municipal public transit token plate, or an early railway transport wagon marker. Heavy cast iron or cast base metal provides the rigid backing, while bronze or brass was utilized for the raised lettering and outer border. This dual-metal construction ensured high visibility and extreme durability against road debris and weather.
