I would appreciate any help in trying to i.d. this shell. I'm confused because it doesn't have the bottom plate. It doesn't show signs of having been cut or welded. Thanks for your help.

It isn't for a Model A.

Not an A.

Mendotaman,

Looks Chevy-ish to me, 1930 Commercial. I'll have to find photos, but I sold a 1930 Chrome plated one similar to yours last year.

I'll third the Chevy thoughts. That little tit that pokes down is where the Chevy oval poles down.

If it is brass it is a 30 Chevy passenger if it is steel it is a commercial

I never would have guessed.

Thanks to all.
