Maxwell veteran car badges

[Eyeful]

I've acquired two of these badges in purchases for a 1910 Q3 but I don't believe they belong to the Q3. Each badge is in good condition (one having a crack near the word 'motor'). The badges are 17.7" x 1.65" x 3/16" (45cm x 42mm x 4mm). On the rear of the badge is "H 372".

 

What year and model do the badges belong?

 

What would the pair of badges be worth?

 

Any advice/help would be appreciated. Peter

Looks like a door sill plate. I know a lot of early Maxwell models had such things. I have seen a lot of nice reproductions of the originals at swap meets over the years, and suspect this might be a repro.

Different models used different sizes of sill plates. Early Maxwell forums might help identify which model they would fit.
