I wish the top of the windshield showed in the picture, squared corners of the glass would be 53/54, rounded would be 51 or 52. The P-A-C-K-A-R-D on the hood says 1951, the grille says 51 or 52, but the thief-proof number is clearly for 1953. Seems it's a bit of a mongrel. And if it's a 1953, the designation "250" doesn't apply.

PS - good point from HH about the Briggs tag. If it's present and defaced, it should tell everything. Even if the number on the Briggs tag isn't legible, you can still tell a bit more. 1952 and earlier Briggs tags just gave the number, 1953 and 1954 also said "Briggs Manufacturing Co." below the number.
