Is this an original Murray tag for a 1929 station wagon?

[Neil Mylar LakewoodCA]

This Murray tag was on the inside wood under my unrestored 1929 station wagon front seat.

I thought the number should start with 150, not 250.
Could it be original, but the installer stamped a 2 by mistake?

There were 4954 station wagons made in 1929. 4048 is under that number.

The body type is 150A and M250 is the serial number prefix.

Bob,
Do you own a Model A Station Wagon?
If so, does it have a Murray tag under the seat?

could e real- could be a repro- who knows?

Whoever at the Murray factory drove in the nail on the right that day must have had a hangover from the night before. Or if a restorer added this tag, his attention to detail is questionable.

Mengel Body of Louisville, Kentucky milled the lumber from Iron Mountain and then sent it on to Murray or Baker-Raulang for the assembly of 150 bodies. The Murray built bodies would have had their tag. I agree on the tack job. Ford would have had a cow if they received a body with that kind of work.

Im calling it a repro tag because of the bent nail and the numbers are a bit too straight.........
