Milwaukee, Wisconsin

| This is an Allis-Chalmers nameplate (c1915-1918) mjs Size: 406mm wide 67mm high |
Allis-Chalmers is a well known manufacturer of agricultural tractors but from 1915 to 1918 they also built some trucks.
The Allis-Chalmers truck was a five-ton capacity half-track truck with artillery steel wheels on the front axle for steering. The truck was powered by a 68 hp four-cylinder engine and had a top speed of 10 mph.
The Allis-Chalmers truck was not successful and only a few were built, some of which were exported.
Nameplate
The Allis-Chalmers nameplate shown above was reported as having come from an Allis-Chalmers logging truck used in Canada. However, I cannot confirm that this is correct. If you have better details, please let me know in order to update this post. If this Allis-Chalmers nameplate is indeed from a logging truck it would be extremely rare.
