Default Re: Original 30 -31 Brass Dash

Ok this has stirred up some controversy
First I am not an expert on brass dashes
But EVERY one ive seen has had "B" stamped on the speedometer bezel
e in addition to the "B" some have Scovill stamped on the opposite side
I have not seen any with JUST Scovill ,but do not doubt that they may exist
I checked a bunch of panels without the "B" and NONE were brass

heres a sampling of 11 BRASS panels
4 have both Scovill ,and "B" stamped on them,
7 have just the "B" stamped on them
none were unmarked
looking at my STEEL dashes,a few have Scovill and the rest were unmarked
So,Scovill made both steel and brass dashes
every brass dash I have has a "B" on it
In addition one NOS Brass dash is Nickel plated,not chrome
