They are butterscotch, dark chocolate and white chocolate cookies with the Ford logo.

Shortly after the Army standarized the design of the Jeep for both Willys and Ford, they stopped allowing them to put their logo on the rear of the body tub. After that Ford put a script F on almost every component on the GPW's; bolt heads, nuts, etc. The ones built before the edict went through are called "Script" Jeeps and are pretty rare.

Well, this thread certainly has taken a strange turn...

On axel keys.

Ron in Quincy · 02-06-2014, 02:55 PM

On the Very Early Speedometer Drive Gear Housing; on the opposite side was a diamond with a "F" in the center. Across the bottom was "10-37".

How about on a pair of scissors supposedly from the Ford factory upholstery department:

....or on the end of a silver match safe:

....or on a brake light lense (UK):

....or on a water pump packing nut (originally from A189) or on a petcock valve:

....or on a trafficator lense:

....or stamped on the base of an original light bulb:

Fordially,

Here are a few very early pieces with scripts

1946 · 02-07-2014, 03:46 AM

Found a script on the throw out race today.

Growley bear · 02-07-2014, 05:24 AM

My Gemmer two tooth steering box has a large raised F on the outside and a script capital F cast on the inside. I know it isn't the complete script logo, but I thought it was interesting.

Here's a hammer that came off of eBay a few years ago:

And for honorable mention, even though it's not Ford script, a stick of lead from the Briggs body company:

Building a couple Model T starters yesterday and ran across these:

Tom Wesenberg · 02-09-2014, 04:15 PM

I've also seen the Ford script and dates on generator armatures for the Model A and B.

John LaVoy · 02-10-2014, 07:25 PM

Working on my multiple disk clutch ( I know crazy) I found the Ford script on the face of the throw out bearing! It is on the right side about in the middle of the picture!

Tom Wesenberg · 02-10-2014, 07:40 PM

I have found Ford script on the clutch lining for the multiplate clutch pack.
