A solid bronze MAN Hamburg data plate from 1964.

This is a solid bronze date plate for a M.A.N. Hamburg manufactured 85kw ( 500.000 kcal/h) Water boiler.
It is mounted on a steel plate with copper rivets alongside a brass plate with boiler details.

The bauart number is correct.

However someone in the past chose to grind off the date and mill in a date of 1944 and add a waffenstamp to the brass plate. Implying that it was wartime and from a U boat.
Inspection under a microscope showed the differences in stamp and that the correct date was likely to be 1964.
Discussion with the MAN archive confirmed that the use of the name MAN Werk Hamburg did not occur before 1957. Hence it must be from 1964.

Hence we have filled the waffenstamp with solder and remarked the date with 1964 to return it to its close to original condition.

The piece weighs 1.6 kg and measures 23 cm x 13cm x 1 cm.

WW2 AEC Marshall 644 British Army Truck Dataplate ex Dunkirk

This is solid bronze data plate made by Duple Bodies of London NW9.
It was made in 1939 as a data-plate for a GS (General Service) Truck Body. For use on a 14ft truck.

The War Department Contract number is specific to the manufacture of 100 AEC model 644 trucks for the British Army.

The AEC 644 was called the Marshall and ca. 1000 were made for the British Army from 1932 to 1941. It was a 3 ton 6 X 4 rear wheel drive truck with an open cab. It was powered by a 5.1 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine.

Duple was a coach builders in London who were noted for making buses.

The AEC Marshall 644 were mobilized in 1930 and were extensively used by the BEF at Dunkirk. Following Operation Dynamo to remove the troops from the beaches around 65,000 British vehicles were left behind. Many were disabled but due to the number left behind many were repaired and reused by the Germans.

The book on British Military Trucks in Wermacht Service by Vollert confirms the use of many captured British vehicles and states that a large number if not the majority of AEC 644 Marshalls were left behind at Dunkirk. It has several pictures of them being reused by the Wermacht. The last picture above is from the book and shows a Marshall in German use. To the rear of the cab is the wooden GS body and a data-plate is visible with the two screw heads on the side of the body.

This data-plate came from Russia so travelled a long way from Dunkirk in enemy use.

We have mounted it on a solid triangular piece of bog oak. So that it can sit on a desk or shelf.

It measures 7 inches long and 2.5 inches high - but on angled block it is 2 inches high and 2 inches deep
