Vintage auto body tag- Nash Seaman

This is a vintage brass auto body tag I found.

[s12.photobucket.com]

From 1909 through 1919 Seaman produced passenger car bodies for the following: Case, Chalmers, Chicago Electric, Columbia Taxicab, Dorris, F.A.L. (Falcar), Franklin, F.W.D., Hudson, Jonas, King, Kissel, Lafayette, Locomobile, Lozier, Marmon, Mitchell, Moline, Moline-Knight, Oakland, Packard, Pierce-Racine, Rambler, Regal, Stevens-Duryea, Velie and Westcott as well as winter tops for Ford and Cadillac. W.S. Seaman Co. holds a patent on a metal-reinforced wooden framing system that they started using in 1910.

If there is an easy way to have a pic show up on the page please let me know. I can get a link to photobucket show as in the above post but would rather have the pic show without clicking the link.

Nice old tag. We have had several Anderson Motor Car tags found in this area. Only made for a few years in the early 1900's. . Manufactured in Rock Hill SC. Family of the owner of the company still live there and one of the tags was returned to him.

Someone explained it to me before but for the life of me I have no idea how to do it now. Great forum but complicated to post any pictures.

Yeah, I've seen pics on here and there might be a fairly easy way or it may take a certain app or something. I'm not the most computer literate. I've seen where a video can be posted places by using the a couple symbols in front and behind the link.

Gary: On the right-hand side of the Photobucket page is a selection of links that you can cut and paste into forum posts, blogs, classified ads, etc. I think the one labelled "Direct" is the one to use, it starts http......and ends xxx.jpg. You need to cut and paste that text. Then in your forum post, where you want the pic, type in IMG in square brackets, paste the photobucket text, then type /IMG in square brackets. You'll have something that looks a bit like
[ IMG ]http://blahblah.jpg [ /IMG ]
...but without all the gaps that I intentionally put in to dupe the forum software. IMG can also be in lower case, img.
Hopefully, when you 'preview' your post, it will show up all correct, then you can submit it. There's probably smarter ways to do it, but I use what I know....
Here's my attempt:


I'm not sure on getting the 'right' size pic, I think photobucket gives a choice, something like 700 pixels wide gives decent results, normally.
