Default Dealer Step Plates

My 29 roadster has step plates with the Dealers name cast into them. I have only seen one other set but they were not on a car. I am assuming these are fairly rare??
Just curious how many others are out there.

Question Re: Dealer Step Plates

I would think very rare. You have piqued my curiosity, what is the dealers name?

Sorry for not answering back sooner.
The Dealer was Stovall Hilliker Ford in Denver. They were only about 8 or 9 blocks from the Denver assembly plant.

You have seen these, as you sold my roadster...twice.

But other than those I have never seen them, have to be rare.

I had a set on a delivery truck that said “Sparry Flour Company”. And it turned out my Great Uncle worked there in the 1920’s and 1930’s
