Ellenore Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I have a collection of early car badges which includes many early American examples. A couple of these are very hard to find information on as to the manufacturers and time they were produced. Just putting a few photos up for viewing and would welcome any feedback or information as to their history. I am located in South Australia and can provide more detailed photos of specific badges. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pont35cpe Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The "Buick 8" is one year only, 1936 all series.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Most are self explanatory, at least as to the marque. The Jaguar one came from an XK series or saloon hubcap of the era, the winged one with a steering wheel held on by a rusty screw is from a British Austin, and the shield shaped emblem with a diagonal checkered stripe is from the trunk lid arrow'ed turn signal light of a Buick, which began ca. 1940. Here is a teaser for observers, what is the D.B emblem from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 http://www.radiatoremblems.com/2013/06/gustave-fox-co.html http://www.americanautoemblems.com/ These are links to a couple of good references. The second one is more current and is still being added to by good friends Mike and Murray Shears in England. I'd bet they have one of the finest collections existing. There are a lot of auto enthusiasts who collect emblems, myself included, although my "accumulation" is small. I don't see any USA emblems in the pics you would have difficulty finding a lot of info on by using simple internet searches. If you are having difficulty identifying some of them though, let us know which ones you don't recognize and I'm sure you'll get good response on this forum. Nice collection!

trimacar Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The DB is Deutsch-Bonnet, probably a fairly rare emblem....a French automobile in spite of the name.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Nice collection, its a shame holes have been drilled in some to mount them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Kudos to you David. I was anticipating replies like "Dodge Brothers". They were cunning little devils, fiberglass bodied, with a 2 cylinder air cooled front wheel drive power train. They were highly competitive in their class.

JACK M Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I am guessing that the second photo between LaS and Hemi is from a Victory Six. Cant find a very good picture. Edited April 15, 2018 by JACK M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
