RadiatorEmblems: DANIELS / USA

DANIELS / USA

The DANIELS MOTOR COMPANY was a vintage era American automobile company, founded by George E. Daniels ( former president of Oakland) and Neff E. Parish (owner of the Parish pressed steel company).
With custom coachwork the DANIELS was a bespoke car, so only built to order, first using a Hershell - Spillman V - 8 engine and from 1919 on a proprietary V 8.
The DANIELS 8 was offered for a price of $ 7,450 in 1922. So the car was very, very expensive as you could buy for example an Oakland for $ 1,600 only.
A personality clash between George Daniels and Neff Parish was the end of the comnpany in 1924.

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.
