Authentic late 19th to early 20th-century sand-cast brass coachbuilder's nameplate from F. Northcott (Frank Northcott), historic coach, wagon, and motor body builders based at 533-585 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne.

This genuine vintage buggy plate features an elegant stylized script engraving, crisp stamped address typography, and an iconic asymmetrical double-arrowhead structural form. Cast using traditional methods, the reverse shows a beautiful sand-molded texture with a slight recessed profile engineered to sit completely flush against wooden chassis panels or footboards.

Features three original mounting holes (two end tabs, one central) for reinforcement. Displays a magnificent, unpolished aged patina with authentic surface wear that highlights its structural history. A premium, highly collectible artifact of early Australian transport history.
