Unexpected treasure from my "Junk Pile"

I was going through the pile of miscellaneous odds and ends from last night's hunt and found an unexpected gem. I knew it was a flat piece of metal with holes on either end like it had been attached to something . It turned out to be a ID plate from a car . I really love fun surprises like this especially when you can pinpoint to something specific

Wow! I love it- and I agree with your thoughts! Very nice and unique find. Hope u find a great place to display it!
 

Man cave wall hanger for sure. I love it.
 

Very cool! One of my favorites.
 

Great find! That will look great mounted with the car advertisement. :occasion14:

Once I found a Jewitt Car Company watch/Key FOB, such a surprise. You never know...
 

Thats a great automotive find. I like finding unusual pieces like that.
 

This is an extrodinary hobby, that just keeps giving up surprises, long after the item has been dug.
A bracelet i thought was junk, turned out to be .925. :)
I have some "what's its" that just fasinate me, don't know why, but i like them.
 

That looks like something the American Pickers would pay a couple hundred bucks for. Good eye. would have been a shame if that stayed in the junk pile.

It's funny that you say that. When I realized what it was that's the first thing I thought of was that it was something the American Pickers would look for
