Hi Dave:

I don't know just when that stamp set (ST-710) was introduced or for how long it remained as an available Packard special tool. The image is from the "Special Tools - Shop Equipment" catalog for the Eight, Super Eight and Twelve issued January 1935 with a special supplement for the newly introduced "120".

The smaller rectangular patent plate was in use thru the 14th series but the space allocated for the dealer name on the new style square plate was about the same so I'd guess it was applicable for use right up thru the early 22nd series plates. I don't have a later Packard Special Tool catalog to confirm that.
