Just saw a Hammond B3 ID Plate for sale on eBay for $249.00. I put it on my watch list to see if someone actually buys it. I can't believe it's worth more than a couple of bucks, if that.

I saw that. Plenty of over priced stuff on eBay... why would someone want one that bad? Nobody steals Hammonds... Right?I probably own too many keyboards

It's probably valuable for the organ counterfeiters to "prove" that a B-style recased A100 actually is a B31973 Hammond T-562
1970 Leslie 145
Studiologic Numa Organ
Yamaha CP50
Various basses, guitars, amps and pedals

That might be true if the owner had taken the time to properly remove the nails. As it is, it's a hack job with pieces of the tag missing. Might be a hard one to pass off installed in another organ.....including the original nails might have been a good idea as well.

Plastic ID tags go back to the A100 in 1959.
I had raised eyebrows when I saw a plastic ID tag on a 1963 M3,turns out they are quite common.
And yes,you could still order an M3 until 1964.
Weird to see a plastic ID tag and cheek blocks and old style oil funnels on a stock organ.1960 B3.Still working on the mall organ coffee table book for cork sniffers

If this organ wsa from the '70s, it would have a letter prefix. A-69, B-70, C-71, etc, until very late when they started up with 6 digits numbers with no logic. My memory may be failing, but i think those last few may have had the "new" printed paper tags, but that might be fake news.Larry K

Indeed. I don't recall seeing a plastic tag after the E - prefix ones in '73 that wasn't laminated paper.
