Great War truck Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Over the years i have come across quite a few data/builders plates from US Army WW1 trucks. Not wanting to sound like a real anorak but i thought it might be of interest if i brought them all together for comparisson. This is the manufacturers plate for our FWD: An Ordnance plate from the same FWD: An Ordnance plate from a licence built Mitchell FWD: An Ordnance plate from a licence built Premier FWD: An Ordnance plate from the steel ammunition body which were fitted to FWD's and Nash Quads (this was found in creek in Ohio - i asked the seller to go back and look for the rest of the truck, but she did not respond to that): A makers plate for a wooden B Type body (International Harvester): Our copy of the same: I have seen Ordnance plates for wagons and artillery pieces. I wish i kept photos of them. Anybody got anything else to add, or am i infringing into the complex world of train spotters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Tim - good stuff. I can't see from the pics what scale there are? The look solid! Sorry Jack. Just noticed your question. They are about four to five inches long except for the International harvester one which is about 6 inches.
