AQUILA ITALIANA

AQUILA ITALIANA radiator emblem

Giulio Pallavicino et Giulio Cesare Cappa started car production under the name of the
Societa Anonima Aquila in Turino / Italy in 1906.
They added the word ITALIANA in 1911 as there were confusions with the German ADLER, because AQUILA and ADLER are the same word for Eagle.
This emblem is from the Bregonzio / Milano collection liquidated in 2009.

Dimensions	6.0 cm x 8.9 cm
Year	1913
Estimate

Pay attention: the original emblem is not flat, look at the vaulted eagle ! All reproductions are flat.

Thank you Guiseppe for the informations.

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.
