RadiatorEmblems

This page is dedicated to pre war car emblems and interesting post war emblems I want to present to you the most beautiful and the most rarest emblems on this page. To my knowledge the first enameled radiator emblem was on the French Brasier 1904. From this time on thousands of these nice artifacts were mounted on the radiator to identify the car. If you send me a picture from your favorite emblems I´ll post them with a comment. ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU WILL FIND AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CARMAKERS.

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.
