Along that line, Mike, it might be an old ID Stamp for the long defunct Steel Company of Canada. During the war, they had operations in both Hamilton Ontario and Montreal Quebec.

I seem to remember the "S" was some kind of proof/check mark (?). I know it has been discussed before, but can't remember which thread.
My C8 also has an "S" on the chassis, but I think my font is slightly different.

Good progress Jacek! What a coincidence....I also put a first coat of primer on my cab frame, last weekend!

One of two oryginal tires , I think. Goodyear 1940 profuction . Any idea why it is so heavy ? I can lift other wheels myself but these two are too damn heavy for one man to lift.
