ROVER / UK

ROVER radiator emblem / badge

Dimensions	ca. 5.6 cm x 4.9 cm
Year	1924
Estimate

The British ROVER started car production in 1904. Before they had been successful in the bicycle and tricycle business. Above you see the first enameled ROVER radiator emblem. It was on the ROVER 9 of 1924.

Since 1929 there was the famous stylised Viking ship seen from the bows on the radiator emblem. There are so much different variations. So I present you my ROVER emblem collection fixed on a ROVER 60 grill:

Do you know more enameled ROVER emblems ?

this was the end: last ROVER badge

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.
