  1. Hi! I am Gustave Fox's great-grandson, still living on Cincinnati where the company (later called Fox Nameplate Co. and then just Fox Company) existed until the 1970s, run by my father. Would love to e-mail or talk with you further about all this. Thanks, John Fox (JohnFoxMktg@gmail.com)

    1. I have a Cincinnati name badge with Gustave Fox on the back. I was wondering if you might know where it's from or age? I can send pictures.

    1. Sorry, I have no idea concerning your ribbon badge, I´m specialized in pre war car emblems only.

  3. Hi I have a badge from "RIVERVIEW PARK CHICAGO" with the greenduck shape stamp on the back side. I am trying to date this badge. Can you tell me when That shape stamp was first used and then stopped being used? Thanks, Dean Please e-mail me at RRGOODS@AOL.COM

  4. What is interesting is that I have worked in Marketing for 40+ years, and my son (continuing the male Fox lineage) worked for a design and "Branding" firm after college for several years. Then it hit us--Fox Company, making logo-ed emblems for cars and appliances, was essentially the first branding company in America.
