Ford script styles identification
My wife and I are learning to identify Ford parts by year based on the Ford script. Here is a motormeter. What are your thoughts and what are they based on.

Re: Ford script styles identification
Motormeters were accessories and most likely always made and distributed by outside manufacturers. They have been licensed or not. Original literature would likely be a better research subject. Also these meters were made back in the day and are made now.

For the outside signage (signs hanging outside the Dealer's building), apparently some of those Sign makers took some liberties with their signs and deviated from "THE LOOK" that Ford wanted. In 1929, Ford issued instructions to their Dealers to "standardize" on these outsign signs. They were just coming out of "The Model T Days" at the time, and wanted to eliminate such signs as: "SALES & SERVICE FORD CARS-TRUCKS-TRACTORS". But I have not seen anything from Ford relating to the small emblems that you describe. Keep in mind that "Ford Script" was used in a variety of other items, such as stationery, packing - and on many Ford parts themselves (but without the Oval). So I do not know if you can single out a year - or group of years - by a particular shape or appearance of the Ford Emblem used. But it is a "Good Start"! |
