Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
I have a letter opener that is stamped
"Ford Motor Company V8 First sheet thru 56 in. Cold strip mill Dec 20 1935" Google hasnt found any information on this letter opener. Do you know anything about it? |

Im Not sure about the mill in which its from, im no ford expert by any means, BUT what i CAN tell you from working in steel mills, and you probably already know by now after your own research is Any time we start up a new mill, they will take the first piece of product off of the line and make commemorative what-knots for all the leadership personnel. I guess its just sort of a tradition in the steel industry. Either way it looks like you have a rare piece there. There may have only been a handful of those letter openers made for supervision, management or whoever was in charge at the time. |

Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
Thank you. It makes me wonder how it came into the possession of a guy who was born in 1925 and spent his life in rural Louisiana

Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
I heard a rumor, back in the '60's, that a certain Hot Rodder GUY, had a Chev. Bowtie & a Ford Oval, tatooed on his BUTTOCKS! Never saw, or wanted to see them! Wish they had been on that Brunette that drug the MAIN with us, in her '40 Ford, Opera Coupe!!----------

Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
I've found Ford script on generator brushes, the heads of starter bendix bolts, stamped on a generator housing, stenciled on the inside of brake lining, wheel bearings, batteries and a tire that I had when I was a kid.

Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
I wonder if I get some poor grade coins and stamp them with Ford I'll make a fortune?

Re: Strangest place you've found the Ford script
prolly factory workers being bored - they still do this...with darn near every ford part being stamped ford ( seems like a waste of time as efficent as henry was) everyone has change in their pockets and already had a hammer available. probably did it to see if they would ever get it back in change.
how many kids put pennies and nickles on railroad tracks? can because opportunity is there.
