NEW1966 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I found this years ago in a closed Buick Dealership. Don't know what year it is, but it's real nice for it's age. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 To think. Many years ago, hundreds of Buick dealers across the nation if not around the world had bunches of those rags. Buick probably made hundreds of thousands of the things. I wonder how few of them survive today? I love to see this kind of thing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 My father reproduced these rags over 30 years ago. I still have a few Chevrolet packages left, but since he had a Buick, he sold or gave away all the Buick rags to his buddies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe not. The "Buick" logo is the one used by Buick throughout the 1920s and to a lesser extent through the 1930s. It is unlikely that Buick would have used such a logo after that. Items like this were "reproduced" in the hobby a few decades ago. Whether Buick had made shop rags like this during the 1920s? I do not know. I do know that some shop rags were made with other car company's names on them during the 1910s and 1920s. I recall seeing era photos of racing teams working in the pit areas of racing events, and a ew monogramed shop rags being visible. But maybe those were just for those racing events? And I still really like seeing this one! And, if it is a hobby repro? I wonder how it found its way into a closed Buick dealership? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
