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.

Looks like the seller enjoyed a couple of good payoffs from his scrap metal business:

Interesting marking. Ellis props was one of the big prop rental houses in Hollywood for years and sold off their warehouses some years back.
