Look what I found.

Hey Jack, we're in Florida, we don't need a heater!
Jim
 
Do you get points for having one of those?
 
yep, the heater box on a BE or the square box is suppose to have one of those riveted in the middle.

Up here in NW Florida we need one of those.
 
just ordered one, thanks Jack

only 5.80 plus 1.00 shipping
 
Mine still has it's original one, here's a pic you can use for placement guidance.

What is the best way to stamp?
HF has stamp sets for cheap.
 
If you have a square heater front plate with the metal tag on it I would like to have it on Miss Agatha.

Thanks for sharing Kim.

I have used HF stamps on tags in the past & worked fine - from what I recall the heater tag never had any markings... I think
 
Usually HF stands for Harbor Freight. Source for predominantly imported tools and supplies. Some of good quality, some of dubious quality. I buy from them. Usually located in good sized metropolitan area (Greenville, SC for me) and mail order. Just look over what you are interested in and determine if it is of the quality you want. For stamp sets, I've gone with the better stuff from a machinist supplier. Not the best, but the better. I stamp valve faces with the cylinder numbers, so I needed a little better quality.

NT usually stands for Northern Tool and Supply. Another supplier of imported tools and supplies. Used to be Northern Hydraulics back when they were predominantly a supplier of log splitter parts and other hydraulic oriented parts.

TSC is Tractor Supply Company. You see the pattern now.

HTH,
Mike Miller
