WAVERLEY / INDIANAPOLIS / USA ( 1899 - 1911 )
The American WAVERLEY Company situated in Indianapolis produced electric cars from 1898 on.
On this emblem they proudly present the dates between 1899 and 1911 when winning an award for the electric car. Like many electrics the WAVERLEY was given a pronounced hood and the look of a gasoline car by 1912 [Georgano]. In 1916 they closed.
Since the emblem lists the most recent victories, it is easy to date. It dates from the end of 1911 or from 1912:
