O_D,

The date of delivery (Dec 24 1936) on the patent plate of my '37 Six looks to have been stamped by the dealer, but the dealer's name and city looks to have been stamped at a later date. Different stamps were used. Maybe the prevailing practice was to just to stamp the date? As I mentioned earlier, the '47 only has the date stamped. I imagine it varied by dealer, some did and others did not stamp their name. I wonder what other owners have on their cars' plates?
