Did Ford ever put a decal on an 860 that said powermaster ? It has Model 800 on the down legs & has Ford raised on hood Decal has a circle at end of it does not look like regular decal for 861

860 and 861 are different which one do you have?

According to smiths old ford page the workmaster(501,601,701) and powermaster(801,901) started with the '01 models.The third number in the hundred series repersents a time frame. 0-1955to 1957, 1-1957to 1962.
But anyone could manipulate an earlier model,heck even some dealers spiffed up "old stock" to make it look like "new stock."
Soundguy should be along soon. He owns an 860,I think,and would be the real authority on the issue.

Yes, late in the production of the 800 series, just before switchover to the 801 series, the PowerMaster decal was added. My 840 had what you described. Here is an example of a Ford ad from 1957 of a 960 with the PowerMaster decal.
