I thought you all would like to see some original photos of the signature stamping process at the Romeo Plant. In these photos you can see the worker using a Mecco MC11D hand press with individual signatures dies to create each die struck signature. Truly “hand built”, right down to each individual plate.

Very nice find on the pics. I believe there has been so many little things documented on these cars and thats one of the things that make them special. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Jeff, have you gotten many orders for the blank plates?


Bob,

Yes, I contacted the company today and asked them to run another 25 because the first 25 are sold and people are still asking for more. The second set will be ready on 09-24-09 along with the first set. I should have the final sample late this week or early next week. I got my fingers crossed. Will post pics when it arrives. I can't wait to see the bent edges. They did such a nice job on the font and logos I know the bent edges are really going to finish it off.
