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.

Not much is known about the AUSTRALIAN SIX company that lived from 1918 to 1926.
It was an assembled car using standard components. It was eqipped with an Rutenber engine made in Chicago / USA.
Their slogan was: Made in Australia, by Australians, for Australia.
May be 500 cars were sold.

There were two different emblems:

On one one you can read: ARMOR SYDNEY.
On the other: BUILT ASHFIELD SYDNEY

Hi It is believed that the first few Australian Six cars built at F H Gordon’s premises at Rushcutters Bay had the AMOR name on the radiator badge. When production started at the Ashfield factory ,the radiator badge reflected the change with the words “ Built Ashfield Sydney”

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.

	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$
