So you want to see some information on Name Plates for Sears Automobiles? Well, you have found the right page.

This page on-going research information on the brass nameplate on the back of Sears Automobiles.

From what I can tell at this point, there were at least two and possibly three different name plates used on the Sears while in production. There have also been a couple of reproduction runs made of this plate. This page will attempt to determine which styles were used and hopefully over time, help to determine when they were used.

If you have a style of name plate that is not shown here, please take a picture and send it to me.

If you have an original name plate with a serial number outside the range I currently have listed, please let me know so we can narrow down the range these plates were used.

Some general notes on these plates:

• The plates were attached on the back side of the piano-box body. They were not mounted in front from the factory.
• The number on the plate should match the number stamped into the frame crossmember under the floorboards on the drivers side.
• The plates were brass.
