The description seems valid. The owner's not claiming it's the number plate from the front of the engine, and the starting bid was about $10, so it doesn't seem to be a scam. |

Looks like it just about hit scrap value for the brass ($90). Might be a cheap way to have a spare "stealable" plate floating around for 614, if Ross doesn't have some already. Michael Seitz Missoula MT |
