Re: Thief-Proof Numbers (body serial numbers)

Yes, the second of my two published articles on the thief-proof numbers has an image of Packard's original engineering drawing for the embossed characters that comprise the thief-proof number. The two articles were published recently in PAC's "The Packard Cormorant" magazine.
Also an old listing by American Type Founders references the Packard type fonts as ATF #s 348 (Packard) and 353 (Packard Bold), though they do not show the actual font. I do have one font loaded into my PC and use it occasionally.
Snipet from the engineering drawing enclosed.
