I found a Fire Chief cardboard that I have never seen before.
It is dated 10-36
Has anybody seen one like this?
It is double sided

Are they very rare?

I don't know about the Fire Chief specifically, but the radiator covers aren’t rare in general. Here are a couple of pics of my late friend Lee Smith’s collection.

What a collection. Hard to believe there were that many of them out there.
Thanks for the info and pictures

Amazing collection!! Never knew there were so many

Not that Randy needs verification...but he is spot on...LOL . John Deere...in my opinion they are not "rare." But they don't show up every day like a Texaco Fire Chief pump plate. I have seen a couple on eBay the last few months. I paid $40 for mine about 15 years ago at the Portland Swap Meet. Alan, that is a most impressive collection/display you have.

I wish I could claim ownership of them! But they were my friend Lee Smiths. He passed away a couple of years ago, and his collection was sold at auction. He had an incredible collection. Sorry if i'm stealing this thread.

You’re not stealing this thread at all. I definitely think you helped the original poster, and taught the rest of us a lot. Nice of you to post those pictures. Never seen all of those before.
