Could be a Sherman?

It might be an M24 Chaffee Light Tank - it was made by Cadillac during World War II.

What you got there in the pic looks like a M4A3E8 Sherman.

It's a Sherman with the updated gun. The first Shermans didn't have a muzzle brake.

Looks like the m24. Note the rear extension on the left side of the turret. And I think only the m24 had caddy engines. And the more straight sides, unlike the Sherman's high angled sides.

I do not know anything about a printers ink block, but the tank picture
in the second post is what I was looking at. Sorry my mistake.
never mind.

Sandwarrior is correct,
Count the road wheels, I'm also going for the Easy Eight.


How did you count the road wheels on that printers ink block??

The printers block is a M24 however the photo is that of a Sherman.
