Studebaker wagon plate

[nebraska stude]

While digging through a junk shop, saw a small brass plate. About 2.5 x 4 inches, deeply stamped was this: Studebaker Brothers Wagon Co., next line, South Bend, Indiana. Had good patina, all scripts had a vintage look. Did someone make reproductions of these, or could this have been removed from a Studebaker horse drawn vehicle? It was pricey, too dear for me to get on speculation. What say you?

Her is an image of mine which is 4" X 1.5". I guess it was attached to a Studebaker horse drawn vehicle around the 1890's.

If it looks like Mr. Quigley's I am interested in it. PM me if it is.

These identification tags came in many styles and sizes. For fine carriages those assembled in Chicago or New York would be identified as such. A few of mine below. Note the top one was for the economy grade carriage (buggy) referred to as "The World Buggy." The bottom one may possibly be a one-of-a kind survivor in that it is also a serial plate and is actually cast metal. Have a few more but these were the most accessible.

The World Studebaker identification plate in Dick Quinn's preceding images jolted my memory that I have a nice Catologue from that Firm in San Francisco with seperate price list both dated 1910. It has 100 pages of various models of Studebaker horse drawn vehicles.
