I'm 99% sure that I'm going to copy the Sopwith Pup and replace mine with a brass plate that says, "In the event of the propeller or engine being removed the gun must be retimed."

We used to buy ALL kinds of crap at the War Surplus Stores I liked the Window Sticker, "DO NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS AT SPEEDS OF OVER 120 MPH"
"Somewhere"??? I got a BIG RED Dash Button, labeled, "PANIC BUTTON"
One Guy fashioned a gear shift out of a Flight Control Stick--"UP, UP & AWAY"
Sure hope ALL you are havin' as good a day as I'm havin'---Out of ANTI-PAIN-PILLS for 3 DAYS & finally got my refill, this morning. It's HELL, when you HURT--NLOL--I've had SO many surgeries, I never know what's hurting & from WHAT???? It sure feels GOOD, whin the Hurtin' STOPS
OH, the Surplus Store had a MOUNTAIN of Foot Lockers, ALL LOCKED, they hand you a HUGE Ring of KEYS. Decisions, decisions???? Do I try ALL the keys in EACH Locker, or try one (1) key, in All the lockers????---LOL--We were there for 3 1/2 HOURS!!!

Were the original patent plates all the same, or did they change over the years of production? I know there were at least two different styles of rivets used to mount them. Are there any pictures of known original plates?

My car had 2 data plates stacked together originally from the factory (6-7-29 tank date). the better looking one was under the other.

There is a special Canadian Data Patent Plate. See the Picture.

The august 1930 Briggs town sedan that I use to have had two plates . The upper plate was narrow and used only 2 drive rivets . The upper narrow plate uses larger drive rivets . These data plates and drive rivets are available from most model A parts vendors . I've used the larger rivets on horn name plates when I drilled the holes to large for the original size .
