TheMoneyPit Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think you actually have the crank hole cover. Any way to post a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bgl0b6 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I dont know for sure,it fits the gas tank on my 1966 Chevy truck,looks just like it,everythings the same as my Chevy gas cap except it has the Pierce Arrow logo enameled into the top.It looks very nice,almost like a reflecter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 It might fit as a gas cap, but it is most likely the crank hole cover. If this will take my picture, compare what you have to the emblem under the B in the Buick script. If it does not take the picture I'll send you a PM.

Guest bgl0b6 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well,I stand corrected,you got it I think.I sure figured it was a gas capbut that sure looks like what I got.Now the big question,what years and whats it worth in nice shape?Thanks for the info....Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 31Pierce43 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I agree with the earlier suggestions. This sounds like the cloisonne crankhole cover badge. If it is like the one in the earlier attachment, it fits 1932-1935 Pierce Arrows. If the badge is mounted on a chrome "cap" with knurling around the perimeter, it is likely for a 1932. In '33 through '35, the crankhole cover badge mounted directly to the chrome radiator surround via a stud on the back of the badge going through a hole in the chrome grille and being retained by a hex nut. The key to value of these is the quality of the plating aound the edge, and whether the cloisonne has been cracked or is flaking off because of overtightening of the threaded fastener causing the badge to bend or distort. These have been reproduced over the years. Nice originals could be worth around $100 or so.Happy Motoring31Pierce43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 31Pierce43 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 TheMoneyPit,The Pierce badge shown in your latest attachment, in the middle of the bottom row of your display, is for the "later" cars, namely 1936-1938 Pierce.All the best.31Pierce43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thank you once again. Funny, but I have been collecting emblems since the mid 70's and there are very few books that even scratch the surface on the subject. Whenever I get the chance I like to know what years/models they fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
