Studebaker "25" Serial # Plate

[TheLittleMan]

I found this plate in a public park (WI) that's never been search and that I think was formerly a dump. I have found no old coins in this park, so it's been difficult to date, but have found lots of horse tack, harmonica reeds, and an amazing railroad lock that I believe dates to the late 1800s (pictured). I was told it's a Bohanon railroad lock.

I believe the Studebaker plate comes from the Model 25, which dates back to 1913. Not sure if they could roll off 313,806 of them in that year alone back then, but still, this is pretty special. If anyone knows their Studebakers, I'd be happy to learn more about this plate and get some verification if this really is the Model 25 that it appears to be. Thanks!
