RadiatorEmblems

This page is dedicated to pre war car emblems and interesting post war emblems I want to present to you the most beautiful and the most rarest emblems on this page. To my knowledge the first enameled radiator emblem was on the French Brasier 1904. From this time on thousands of these nice artifacts were mounted on the radiator to identify the car. If you send me a picture from your favorite emblems I´ll post them with a comment. ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU WILL FIND AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CARMAKERS.

ARROL ASTER / GB

ARROL ASTER radiator emblem

This combined marque (ARROL + ASTER) with directors from both companies , lasted for only two years before a Reciever was appointed. It then continued with limited productions and sales until 1931 [Baldwin]. So it is a hard to find item.

Dimensions	5.0cm x 7.3cm
Year	1927 - 1931
Estimate

original backside

Pay attention: there are repros from ARROL and ASTER with a flat backside.

For more beautiful emblems from other automobiles see top right of this page ( list of car makers ).

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.
