The DOVER was the gasoline truck from HUDSON. The best of the car was this nice emblem showing a flying horse called Pegasus. They only built this car from 1929 to 1930. It is a rare and expensive emblem, so there are reproductions. But I can tell you if it is a reproduction. Please look at the next picture.
Here you see two DOVER emblems and the copy of the original trademark drawing. If you look closer you see that there is a certain distance between the head of the horse and the frame of the emblem. The left emblem ( the original ) and the trademark drawing is showing this distance you miss on the right emblem !
It is not easy to make a 100 percent copy !
Also there is a makers mark on the (flat) back of the original: ROBBINS CO ATTLEBORO
