Another "matching numbers" car, whatever that means these days.

I bought 4 pullman stamps off of ebay so we'll see if they match up.

Post #38 above (ref. to #18) came in while drafting #39. Photo in #18 above I would say is the same font (though mixed sizes).

Looks like DavidK found a good lead in #19! Hope it plays out...

I know this will sound strange. There seem to be differences in how the fonts render on my modern computer, compared to the old-school physical stamp font.

I was trying to track these down a couple years ago. This photo shows a sample of what they called 'Roman' although this particular stamp (TX, you may recognize?) is much larger than the wiper stamp.  The other style was called 'Gothic', I think it was mostly used on newer cars?

At the time I was researching this, i ran into a problem. This type of stamp was being discontinued and I was unable to place an order (this was summer 2022). Had an order in progress but it was cancelled/unavailable.

I tried to revisit some of the shopping links I saved in 2022. Not yet found one that works (dead links or moved)...

Here is what I’ve found, vintage United Delco. Font and technique is about spot on.

Hey Steve,

I'm not sure how I missed this. The font does look darn near perfect.

Could you do me a favor and post a test stamp of 287 66 for me when you get time.

Here is a stamp from my 11B Van Nuys car. The font is Roman.

Looks identical to mine. I don't believe the font is roman.
