Th. SCHNEIDER / FRANCE

Thèophile SCHNEIDER radiator emblem

Théophile SCHNEIDER, one of the founders of the famous ROCHET - SCHNEIDER, made convetional cars which competed without succes in first-class competition.
He started his own car production in Besancon, a small town in the east of France, in 1910.
In 1931 the last Th. Schneider was built. For me this car had one of the most sophisticated emblems ever made.

Size	4.0 cm x 14.7 cm
Year	1925
Estimate

Here you see an advertisement of 1925 so it is easy to date this emblem:

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.

	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.
