There seems to be a lot of identification markings all over the model T. What they all mean can be mysterious. Maybe someone will know? Post them if you’ve got them. while wire brushing my frame down today I found this marking under the scale. I can see the letter M Then maybe a B or R and what might be a C or G. Any ideas? Its on the rear cross member drivers side right at the body mount hole. 1926 frame

Thanks that was very helpful

Different steel mills roll their I D marks in the product they produce. It may be just one of those.

Allan from down under.

I can't find previous discussions on this. These are the marks I am familiar with. I know A.O. Smith made frames early for Ford but others did later. maybe someone else can remember.

There is a bunch of forging cartouches in the Ford Service Bulletins.

Some of the spring leaves on my 21 T has Carnegie randomly on the leaves. It’s faint but there.

The spring markings are very interesting too. Here are some I found. and this 1914 date:

I know we have discussed them before too, but where?

Are the service bulletins on the MTFCA site somewhere?

Rich, I like the little flag markings

I don't believe so Bryant - there's copied repro available at the vendors.

The pennant has MSC in the legend. That stands for Michigan Stamping Company, a supplier of later Ford frames.

The other major frame supplier was Parrish & Bingham, typical marking is P&B in a circle.

Service Bulletins can be read on the Model T Ford International site, under Technical Library on the homepage ModelT.org


Here is the listings of neat info on the Ford from that library.

Thanks Dan. It is good to get answers like that.

Yes thank you Dan! I will be lost in that pile of info for days here’s another hieroglyphic. Passenger side frame rail about the area of the carburetor. Possible assembly line guide?

1926 front bumper bracket.

Bryant, Service bulletins are also on Cimorelli's website.
