Re: Special inscription on cylinder block
Ford-Werk AG in Koln is what I'd bet. They started production in 1931 at about the same time as Dagenham in the UK.

Re: Special inscription on cylinder block
GAZ was model B engine the deck is uniquely shaped. I think the logo on the model A shown resembles an asian character over a crankshaft. I dont know if yokohama had its own foundry but it may be a contender.

The German cast Model A engine blocks originally did not have any special foundry marks during the normal Model A production years (just like like the ones from the US). I have one from 1931. Later replacement blocks had the letters "GS" with a Ford script foundry marks (carried over to the German Ford Rheinland engine blocks) and later the letters "EB" in an isosceles trapezoid shaped box with a Ford script (both under the engine number block) (carried over to the G28T engines).

Re: Special inscription on cylinder block
Latest Restorer magazine has an ad for a car with a GAZ B engine in it.

Re: Special inscription on cylinder block
I sent the pcitures to Andrey Chepelev and Evgeny Kochnev ( two Ford A experts in Russia) Here is Evgeny's response "Yes, in 20-30s first USSR-assembled cars were the simplest 40 hp Ford A, often with handmade unstandardized stamps on the cylinder block. It could be facsimiles, drawings, or ornaments, similar to the images you shared. After the mass production started, these Fords has got GAZ-A indexes decorated with star emblems on the radiators. Unfortunately, for now, I can't identify the exact emblem you shared. In case I manage to do so in the future, I'll contact you!"

Re: Special inscription on cylinder block
I built a nos B Gaz Russian block.
That is not a ‘32 B Russian block. Looks to be an A block. |
