Unc - the Kelsey Hayes tags appear to be equipment tags, which would have a serial number stamped on it, cataloged and attached to the piece of equipment.  I worked for the Delco-Remy division of GM years ago, and those tags (obviously with 'Delco-Remy') were on everything from desks to meters to benches to machines.  Very cool find, Korrigan, and a sweet gitty!

That was supposed to be "interested in automotive wheel history" but it seems link text can't be that long. lol

Thanks UJ!  I found a box of Kelsey Hayes tags in an antique store in Detroit and purchased a few dozen of them. They make great string retainers and jack plates. Here's some info on the company if you're interested in automotive ... :-)

Jerry: I found the tuners on eBay.

Looks great.  Steam punk works for me.  What the story on the Kelsey Hayes brass piece?

Ha.  I focused in on the guitar and almost missed that great backdrop.
