WAVERLEY / USA

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.

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.
