PEUGEOT / FRANCE

It is a pleasure to collect Peugeot emblems. Because of their history of more than 120 years you  still have the chance to find a never seen Peugeot emblem. My collection started with Peugeot emblems in the seventies. Now I own about 40 different prewar Peugeot emblems. And there are a lot  more emblems if you also collect the younger emblems.








This is one of the oldest of my Peugeot emblems:

In 1913 the famous PEUGEOT Bébé was offered with  an engine constructed by Ettore BUGATTI.
Here you see the lovely brass radiator emblem. I had to buy the whole radiator to get an original emblem.
Only 3,095 cars were sold.






This is my all time favorite of Peugeot emblems:

Here you see the typical Peugeot emblems of the twenties:


Ther was a small and a large version. The large version is very rare. You find it on the type 153.
So the evaluation is for the large version:

This is the most commun prewar enameled Peugeot emblem. You still have the chance to buy a fine original for small money.
