Hello again, I think the reason the restamp numbers are on a ground surface is because that is how the old number was removed. In Pennsylvania it would have been illegal to have an engine without numbers.Car thieves were as prevalent then as now , that is how “Baby Face Nelson “ got his start. Engine number always starts and ends with a star and the font was somewhat particular to Ford also changed in 1931 .
