KING - ZEITLER / USA

The KING - ZEITLER Company of Chicago / Illinois offered a full range of truck and some buses.
They were active from 1919 to 1929. That´s all I could find so far. If you have a picture showing the radiator with emblem don´t hesitate to send it to me.
Both emblems are from the Lee Roy Hartung collection / Chicago that was  up for auction in november 2011.

DIABOLO / GERMANY

In 1922 the DIABOLO Kleinauto Gmbh  presented a 3-wheeler that was powered by a 1.1 litre Motosacoche engine. This car showed some resemblance to the MORGAN 3-wheeler.
But there was no commercial succes. Maybe 300 cars were built. Not a single car survived !

So the emblem is ultra rare and I had to buy the whole radiator for my emblem collection.

HORCH / GERMANY

August HORCH (1868 to 1951) , the founder, worked for BENZ at the turn of the century and produced his first efforts around 1900. By 1906 there was a larger 18/22 four and a big 8-litre that flopped and caused HORCH to leave his firm and to found a new firm, named AUDI. After WW 1 HORCH produced more up - market machines of excellent quality.

Here you see the first enamelled radiator emblem ever used by HORCH showing the name HORCH and the crest of the town of Zwickau / Saxony in Germany.

All Horch items are rare and expensiv. You have to look years for this emblem !

PEUGEOT trucks (utilitaires)

PEUGEOT also built light-duty trucks.

While the cars were classified by a number with a "0" in the middle of three numbers like 201, 301, 401, 601, 202, 302, 402, 203, 403, 404, 504, 604 etc. the light-duty trucks and their emblems are showing at least one letter like 201 T, 301 T, MKD, SKD, Q3A, DMA etc.

In my collection are 14 different prewar PEUGEOT truck  emblems. The French are calling the light-duty truck:  Utilitaire. So please have a look at my PEUGEOT  utilitaire emblems:
