McFarlan (USA)

McFarlan radiator emblem

McFarlan ( 1910 - 1928) was a small production prestige car. In 1922 they built a 9.3-litre sedan with triple ignition. In 1928 the McFarlan assets were purchased by Cord.
In total they built less than 3,650 cars. Their production peak was in 1924 with 278 cars, so the emblems are rare, especially the enameled emblem which is shown above.

Dimensions	6.2 cm
Year	1916

Hi, a friend of mine gave me a bunch of these emblems or whatever they are. They are each glued to a card with a drawing and description of each car. On the back is printed "Jefferson Vintage Cars & Vantage Chemicals." Do you have any idea what these are? I can send you a photo.

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.

	A common pre-war emblem from a mass producer like Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler etc. Value: 0$ - 50$
	Still a well known car but no high production quantities. Value: 50$ - 200$
	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$
	An ultra rare piece. Prices are sometimes 800$ and more.
