Most of the manufacturers provided a serial number plate, typically to be attached under the hood as Keith mentioned. Of course, it was up to the builder to attach it. I know Classic Roadsters included the company name on the serial number plate. Not sure about others.
Why don’t you post a few pictures. That might help us id your car.
