lead backed plate, could it be a....

[chopper]

....no, guess not. You can probably see why I was so excited. I wasn't thinking about the size not being right at the time, I just saw the lead backed disk and thought this has got to be the breast plate I've been looking for. It wasn't to be. Anybody recognize the design? There's a tiny six sided star in the very center that's hard to see in the pic, the inner ring is about the size of a silver dollar.

Maybe some sort of Star of David organization?

Clean it a bit more?

I really know better than to disagree without pictures but I will post a picture as soon as my camera battery is charged. I found a dodge brothers radiator cap a couple of years ago that resembles your find but not perfectly. I have seen some others that are different. Look closely to see if you find any letters around the outside of the ring which will say someting like dodge brothers.......detroit usa. I will post a picture in less than an hour. Best of luck and great find........HH......gregd573

Thats pretty neat gregd573. Gregd573 is the back of the radiator cap lead filled also?

 

[gregd573]

Sorry about that jonnyreb, I forgot to put on pictures of the back. It is not lead filled but it has a spot which shows that it was attached to something. I think........I THINK......this is just a pertty piece of metal which was atrtached to the actual radiator cap.

Happy Hunting All,
