Would guess very few have seen a red cardboard Carter tag.



Originals were a darker red, but this is the darkest I could find.

I like that!

During what time period were they used?

If I can remember I can take a photo of an original fiber tag. They were used to ID the carb and also verify quality inspections.

The red cardboard was used on brass bowl carbs. I don't have documentation as to the exact time the cardboard was discontined, and brass was used.

The only one I have ever seen was not on a carburetor, but rather in a "General" bulletin from Carter to their distributors. Somewhere, I still have it, and will probably find it when looking for something else

I have seen brass tags on the 1930~1931 Chevrolet 150s, but they were service dated. Don't know if the original tags on the 150s was brass or not.

Not that it matters, but the pictured carb is a Dort. Note that the type of carb "GB0" precedes the carb number.
