In 1915, Canadian Ray Gray was granted a license to manufacture the DORT automobile in Canada. Over the course of 10 years, approximately 26,000 vehicles were manufactured in Canada, so the GRAY DORT emblems are relatively easy to find.

 

The differences in the emblems are likely due to the fact that they were manufactured by different suppliers.
