Brian, That's the reweigh date, and of corse the brakes and brake reservoir was checked and the bearings repacked at the same time. Regards, Bruce Bruce Smith Auburn,​ AL

Bob That's the brake service date - "LT" probably means "lube & test" in that context. The general shop date stencil is for 1951 as well, but this is clearly a car built in the 1930's.
