TIDAHOLM / SWEDEN

TIDAHOLM radiator emblem

Yes, there was a Swedish car company before VOLVO. The TIDAHOLM started car production in 1906.
The TIDAHOLM had probably the oldest ancestry of any car-making firm; the company traced their history back to the ownership of a mill in 1403. Lorries were made from 1906, and were always their main production [Georgano]. On the emblems of TIDAHOLM and VOLVO you see the same symbol:
a circle with an arrow. But it is not the male biological sign. It is an ancient sign for iron.
You have to look years for this emblem

Dimensions	6.1 cm: emblem only
Year	1920

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.
