Dewitt's radiator marking

I did a search and couldn't find what i was looking for.
Do Dewitt's radiators have specific markings on them? I have never seen one and would be curious. I will be looking at an aftermarket one tomorrow and would like to know what distiguishes a Dewitt's that looks like the original.

They asked for my exact markings on my orig. 65 radiator and sent me one with the same numbers etc.

Nope. No Dewitt's name on them

They look great....and work great. Best choice for replacing your original rad.

They are far superior to 40 year old technology rads.

The 3 that I've bought never had a sticker. The only way to tell they were "DeWitt's" was by the boxes they came in.

I guess they don't put them on their "Restoration" radiators as those are the ones I've bought and none had any sticker.

I was really hoping for a phantom Dewitt's radiator that I saw for sale. It turns out to be a repro that is 2 months old and is a copper unit. It was a good deal so I bought it in case mine takes a crap. Thanks for all of the help.

Mine is painted, dated, stamped and stickered just like GM did it.

Dewitts is the finest and most accurate to original design radiator made. IMHO it is an OEM part.
