Reward for stolen car.

[Mkriegs]

I found this tag at a house which ranges from the mid 1800's to the 1920's. It states, "$100 dollar reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone stealing this automobile No 4279". Along the rim it says "Universal Association Automobile Service" It is kind of self explanatory but i thought it was pretty neat and would love any extra info anyone has. I did some internet searches and came up blank. I have never heard of a tag like this before. Also, I am not sure why my computer flips photos? Thanks!

VERY cool find! $100 was a TON of money back then...im not sure of the exact year, but the 4 digit license plate number/Vin places it pretty early...Great find! Ddf

very cool, several years ago I found a key chain with a brass plate that said something about if found to put in the nearest mailbox and it would be shipped back to, seems like Detroit. There was not much of anything else on the address that I can remember. it had a vehicle # of five or six digits. My dad restores A Models from the frame up so I gave it to him, no idea what he did with it.

Very interesting! Seems the plate didn't do it's job. Nice example of an early LoJack system!

This looks like something the Guys from American Pickers would love. Maybe they could give you more info?
