SCHACHT truck radiator emblem

The SCHACHT company was an old-time buggy builder that began car production in 1904. They became famous for their Highwheeler. Their slogan was the "Invincible Schacht".
They built ca. 9,000 cars in 10 years. The last year was the best year with 1,246 cars sold. But it was not enough so they turned into the truck production.
This emblem is from the Lee Roy Hartung collection / Chicago that was put up for auction in 2011.

It´s great.This is one of my favourite emblems, presented in your fine collection of rare and selected items as a special aspect of industrial and design history, showing the international style in this period. Perfect presentation giving smart and well informed Details.

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.
