Does anyone own or have pictures of any of the cars owned by the Packard founder?

Thanks guys. There are no marks or indication that this was altered. If altered you would think under magnifying glass I could see tool marks or stress related marks. If I hadn't found it in the Packard home I would be more intuned with the modifying it to fit something else though. Hopefully someone with a similar curved plate will chime in.
Again, thanks for all input.

No, it's just the cover of my Kindle that I thought would work well as a background.

Dietrich Inc. Detroit - badge

I have posted 2 photo's of a Dietrich Inc. Detroit badge that I have. I found this in the Chauffeur room tool drawer in the under house garage of Packard Manor in Chautauqua, NY when I called it home during three summers around 1980. More than likely it came off of one of Mr Packards cars. I can only imagine some of the fantastic Packard's that graced that garage.

Can anyone tell me a little more about the tag? What time period? Where it would have been mounted?

It is approximately 2 1/2"'s long by 3/4 inch wide.

I would say either made of brass or bronze.

Living in that grand manor and learning all the history and nuances of that home was certainly a highlight of my young life.
