TexRiv_63 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I just picked up this Lycoming badge. 2 1/8" diameter, plated and painted steel, appears to be clearcoated front and back. It has a D.L. Auld makers mark but no mounting provision. Real or repro? What was it used on? TIA for any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Some Auburns in the 20's,maybe 30's used a Lycoming straight 8 engine,also an International pickup in about the same era used a 4 cyl,and there were probably others. I never saw that emblem used with any of them tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I think... that is off an aircraft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I've never seen that badge on any of the Lycoming aircraft engines I've been around. This is the closest I found On a 1938 65 hp, horizontally-opposed, air cooled, 145 cu. in. 4 cylinder aircraft engine at the Smithsonian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexRiv_63 Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Thanks for your responses, I agree it may have an aircraft connection. Does anyone know of any online sources that I could access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 A badge like that wouldn't be on an engine. Maybe a cowling, or even a crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
