Old Ford Motor parts, printing plate and meter cover old stuff but no old coins today

Well, here's an eclectic group of stuff I pulled out of a park on Sunday.

• Old Rockwell meter cover; probably brass but almost looks like bronze
• Old Ford thermostatic butterfly valve (figured that out using patent numbers on the part)
• Some other brass bit; I can make out the Ford script logo on it but not the word underneath. Anybody have any ideas?
• About 16-inch-long copper on lead printing plate. I reversed a couple of images in order to read it.

Was rainy here in North Carolina today, but Tuesday is supposed to be sunny and 70 degrees, so I plan to get out there! I am digging this winter so far! No pun intended

Glad to see that you were able to get out and enjoy the weather in NC.

Congrats on the finds!
