Hot Rods Need help Identifying a speaker grille

What car did this come off of?? It used to be chromed pot metal. Heavy with no markings.. I googled 1950 dashes, mostly GM but found nothing.. Swap meet part 30 years ago.. People ask and I say "I don't know".. I know the hamb people are really good at this.. Thanks in advance for everyone looking, Milo ( clic pic) to enlarge

 

To quote @VANDENPLAS , it’s a Dodge. Hehe.

 

Can't help you with the speaker grille, Milo, but it's good to see you on here. I really miss your hot rod builds from the past. Great cars. Hope all is good with you....Don.

 

Hey chryslerfan55, I couldn't fine a picture of the speaker grille.. I look at Dodge 1950 to 1970 and saw nothing.. Do you know what year?? Thanks, Milo

 

'50s rear speaker cover ,,,

 

Still a mystery??

 

Sure it's automotive?

 

No.. It's heavy chromed pot metal.. Could maybe be antique radio.. Has 4 threaded screw holes on back. I first thought to be mid 50's Oldsmobile but couldn't find any pictures.. I do know the rear license light is from a 1938 Desoto and fits the "W" deck lid perfect.. Maybe it's just a stumper this time.. Thanks all for helping...

 

Could be military, medical, or old broadcast intercom or control room speaker cover.....?

 

It looks similar to this Lamborghini one but no cigar.... -clic pic-

 

Good ideas 283john...

 

Milo, is that a Real split?! Hope you're doing good.

 

NO..

 

If it’s not off a Dodge , possibly a house vent ?

 

The end off an old canister vacuum cleaner?

 

All good ideas and some are close.. Mine is really heavy(pot metal) I think, chrome plated.. I still think car related.. It's flat for a flat surface.. It's not a big deal and I thought it would be easier then this..

 

I now think if it was car related it would have a part number on the back.. This one has nothing..

 

Aftermarket rear seat speaker grills would not have had a part number on the back side. From the days when you added one rear seat speaker in the middle of the package deck and if you were big time you added a fader switch under the dash.

 

I love a whatizit challenge.

A lead to whet your appetite. I took your image above, copied it into MS-Paint and cropped it:



I then copied that cropped image into Google Image Search, and it returned the following lead:



The link took me to this eBay seach... some parts, but nothing like your grille.

Then I ran out of IT competence. Mebbe they are Daimler assemblies (Daimler is just a British Dodge, isn't it )

Google on, my friend.

... and then I realised Daimler is really just a fancy Jag.

I think Harv nailed it! And when you look at that last link, there is a NOS one under "similar items"....
