Thank You for the welcome. It says Motor Club on the bottom.

Glad you found us at tnet! I think the key may go all the way back to the Model A or be from the 1930's. HH Chris

I think the Ford Motor Company piece was supposed to be screwed into the back bumper or else was put over the license plate. It predates self-sticking adheasive peel back stickers. I think the American Automobile Association also issued metal emblems similar to the Ford piece you found.

This information is from a past post by PBK:

"It's a Model T switch key, c. 1909-1927. Numbers ranged from 51 to 74.

(Similar keys, but with numbers 101-124— i.e., 50 added to the Ford key number— were made for Dodge switches.)"

Welcome to Tnet and it is a great place to be as a newbie. Many people here are friendly and more than willing to share their knowledge and experiences. As you can see from the response on the key and motor club tag. Look forward to seeing your future posting and Happy Hunting.
