The first edition of Georgano´s encyclopedia of Commercial trucks, published in 1978, does not mention this firm. All I know is that they were in the goods vehicle business with a load capacity of one ton or over. So this emblem is a hard to find item. You have to look years for it.

This company was owned by my family. I'm a Bree. Wish I could find one of those. Let me know if anyone is selling one.
ReplyDeleteYou probably need years to find one. Good luck !
