APPERSON 3

This is an original APPERSON emblem from the first years. But this one is missing all blue and white enamel and the two holes are not original. On the backside there is a makers marque from Greenduck Co Chicago.
Pay attention: there are reproductions made by Harry Pulfer in the sixties. They have a flat backside and there is no makers marque.

Dimensions	10.2cm x 6.2cm
Year	1914 and later
Estimate

Welcome

I started collecting radiator emblems in 1976. I remember this clearly because I had to give my first car to the local scrapyard. It was a still nice looking Volkswagen squareback. The scrapyard director was interested in my car and I was interested in the emblems of all cars in the field. So a deal was made. And I went home with a bucket full of emblems. Later I've been on swap meets all around the world. I started buying emblems on Ebay in 1999. From this time on prices became comparable for the first time. This made it possible for me to invent a five-star system to categorize emblems based on their rarity and value.This table is applicable for original emblems in a good but not perfect shape. Not for reproductions.

	Here it starts with the highly collectible emblems. Value: 200$ - 500$
	A very rare and very desirable emblem. You have to look years to find one of these. Value: 500$ - 800$
