TexRiv_63 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I have had this interesting star shaped emblem for a long time and would like to identify it's use and age if possible. It is 2 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" high, cast and machined brass with remnants of nickel plating. It is swept back vertically from the center for mounting on a sharply crowned surface. I got this in a large batch of auto emblems but am not sure it came from a vehicle. Any assistance is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexRiv_63 Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 I have been informed on another site that this is a radiator emblem from a French Renault Vivastella, made from 1929 to 1939. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I did sonder if it might have been something to do with the Wolverhampton (UK) based Star (active 1898-1932) but I see their logo had six points. The presence of that company's products in the colonies is the reason the Durant Star was sold there as the Rugby. This is a 1925 Star in drivable but unrestored condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
