    I'd really like to know what this grill is from, leading ideal is an international, but the sides are not straight up & down, more of a slight angle. I'm not an expert on internationals, so I don't know if thier grills had straight sides or not.

    ^ I clicked on the pic, and saw the full sized image. Yeah I too think its off a tractor. Its way too heavily built for any car/truck. Id almost be interested to see how much that thing weighs.

    Looks like we agree that this is from a tractor, but which one? any ideas? leading idea is a case tractor, how about a year?

    Uhhh......sure looks like stamped sheet metal. How heavy can that be?

    Since it hadn't yet been "identified" otherwise, I'm sticking with my earlier educated guess that it is '38/'39 International truck. :)

    it is stammped steel, and it is thick steel, for a small grill, it does have some weight to it. Leading idea is a case tractor, but not positive.

    The grille doesn't taper, it is actually stepped on each side.
    I think tractor of some kind is right.

    Just saw one one ebay, seller claims it is 1937 Chrysler, but can only say he is going by a little tag on it. So I googled it, and sure enough, photos look just like my grill.
    Mystery solved!!!
    Thanks go out to everyone who thre Sow thier hat into the ring, had lots of good ideas here.
