nickelroadster Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I aquired this pin at a Marmon club muster. It was sent to the club by the granddaughter of the recipient. She told us that he was an employee of the Marmon company and did not reallly know what it was. It says Marmon honor award 1926 with 5m in the middle. Does anyone have a clue or even a guess as to what the award might have been given for. Don't be afraid to make a wild guess as I have heard a few but none really seems to strike home.

Guest prs519 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Perhaps the sale of 5 Marmons would be a milestone? Just a guess.Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks for the guess. I am trying to think of what honor would be for an employee of an auto co. I wonder if 5M does not mean five thousand. Might it not mean something for charity like raising $5000 for some charity? Need some more guesses.

nickelroadster Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Surely someone has a guess or two what this pin may have been awarded for. Come on guys, someone can make a wild guess here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 In googling same, I found some reference to hill climbs where the time was 5 minutes, which could be 5M. Don't really think that's the answer.My real guess it's a 5 year pin for working for the company 5 years, and they just added the "M" for Marmon.......
