Brockway built electric trucks from 1 to 7 tons capacity from 1933 to 1938. Is it one of those?

And we have (almost) a winner! :applause:
Name the (possible) model designation and the point is yours!
As this milk truck should have the lowest of the numbers I've found, I'll go for Brockway 50-E.

Yes, that's the one! I don't have the definite name for that model, but according to that...
"Brockway introduced 3 electric truck models, the 50-E, 100-E and 170-E in 1933. They were made to have interchangeable parts
with the same gasoline powered models that shared the same model number. The trucks were built in Cortland and an electric
truck division was set up in NY City headed by Hugh Forman. F. I. Starbuck worked under him as district manager in NY
and M. B. Curtain was the district manager in Chicago. Obviously Brockway focused on the large cities to market these trucks.
Dairies and bakeries used them within the cities. GE electric motors were used in the lighter models while Westinghouse was
used in the larger models. It is not clear how many were made, especially since these models do not seem to be mentioned
in the Brahams Automobile Reference book for Ins. Cos. until 1936. Those who visited NYC in the l950 recalled these still
used by bakeries.".... you should be right!
