M416 Data Plate

[BuzzyIAm]

I am looking for a replacement data plate, however, everyone one I can find does not match up to what I am told is the original. Most data plates weigh less. Can anyone tell me this data plate is? Who was the manufacture, etc… Much appreciated.

That is not the original, that was applied during an overhaul. The original would have the mfgr printed not stamped on it.

Thanks, I appreciate the knowledge. Here is a pic of the trailer, any idea make, manufacture? M416 obviously, don’t know year or mfg now.

If you do a lot of Googling, you might be able to find factory original data plate images with similar dates of delivery, that will have the mfgr on it. I think the mfgr is Stevens for that year but I could be wrong. Nice trailer btw.

Thanks, I have googled to death, I figure it’s a Steven’s. Yes I bought it off a guy who restored it. He said the plate was original, but I suspect it was a restore of a restore. Needless to say, I love it, mechanically sound, a few war wounds, but for this era, can’t complain. I have to get a homemade title in MD, so I figure I will just stamp the new vin into a plate. I would like to have an original however, trying to keep in pure.
