I posted this over in the WIW section but haven't gotten any replies. Does anybody know what this is? I thought maybe it was early Plymouth dash trim, but I can't find any pictures on google that look similar.

It's the 1946 factory Hemi radio delete plate!

I did a bunch of searches for 19XX Plymouth Dash and saw nothing that looked like that would fit.
A wild guess is that it might be a cover for a heater. They had a bunch of different heaters back then, many different styles and shapes. Again, I didn't find anything similar, but that's a guess.

Is that cast aluminum? About how big is it? I'm thinking a delete plate for something, curved dash would have to be 30s, maybe truck? Gene

It isn't aluminum because a magnet stuck to it. I'm thinking stainless, but it does have some surface rust on the back side.I had the thought of heater as well but couldn't find any pics of anything like it there either.

Maybe it'll just have to become garage decor.

I think GOLDENCOMMANDO found the answer and posted it in the WIW forum. '51 plymouth radio delete plate looks like what this is...
