I would really like to know what this plate is off of. Found in the dirt next to the type of soldered cans from previous post. Any ideas? This sign was bent
we straightened it out the best we could.

Size? Looks like a stencil.

Thank you for the clue. It might be a stencil. It is approximately 4.5" H X 8" W. I am assuming it is a tag that was on a shipment since I found it in the ground in Lake County, Florida. Also there is no indication of paint on the plate.

Thank you Modern Miner, It seems that this brass stencil is circa 1890 - 1910 used for shipping.
