Tim, I have a few things from there in my collection that are not for sale, but I don't believe they used plate frames. Chicago area / northern IL dealers primarily did NOT use plate frames or metal emblems. Don't get me wrong, some did, maybe 25-30%? 90% of the dealers used trunk decals as opposed to metal emblems which makes them not plentiful due to the fact that most were stuck on cars and once the cars were gone, so was the decal. I DO have a Bill Jacobs dealer decal in my collection. Interestingly Bill Jacobs used the SAME decal for decades. They were also into "promos" or giveaways. A lot of dealers weren't. I have the dealer decal, postcards, yardstick, promo bag, patches, etc. from there.
Tim, I'm sorry, I tried posting pics but unfortunately the tech is frozen on this site to when I joined in 2002.....such a shame....
