OMIKRON (Berlin Germany)

OMIKRON radiator emblem

OMIKRON built cyclecars in Berlin from 1921 to 1925 without succes. No car left.

The only souvenir is this v - shaped radiator in my collection. You see Batman on the emblem 18 years before the first Batman comic ! Another nice idea for a car symbol.
I had to buy the whole radiator to get the emblems.

Dimensions	6.5 cm
Year	1921 - 1925
Estimate

two OMIKRON race cars with flat radiator

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.
