RadiatorEmblems: HISPANO SUIZA

HISPANO SUIZA

the holes are original

The HISPANO - SUIZA (1904 - 1944) emblem is showing the Spanish flag (red and yellow) and the Swiss flag (white cross on red ground) in a cercle between two wings because this high price car was produced in this two countries.

The money to build this car came from the Spanish founders Damian Bisa and Francisco Seix, the technology from the Swiss founder Marc Birkigt.

From 1919 to 1931 the type " H6 " was the most expensiv car in Europe.
As the car was expensive the emblem is still expensive. So there are a lot of reprodctions, even more than
originals !

Dimensions	15.1cm x 5.0 cm
Year	1923
Estimate

very early emblem without holes

advertisment of 1924 showing the emblem

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.
