PLUTO / GERMANY

PLUTO radiator emblem

The PLUTO was a German cyclecar that was built in the Ehrhardt factory at Zella - Mehlis / Thuringia / Germay from 1924 to 1927. The car was a French AMILCAR built under licence, There was even an engine with a Roots blower developing 65 HP. To my knowledge there is only one car left.

You have to look years for this emblem.

Dimensions	9.5 cm x 6.6 cm
Year	1924 - 1927

Reverse of an original PLUTO emblem

The PLUTO emblem was mounted on the radiator net and not on the radiator shell.
Therefore the two screws you see on this picture.

thank you Joerg for the picture

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.
