ELYSEE / USA

The ELYSEE truck was made by the M.P. Moller Motor Car Company in Hagerstown from 1929 to 1932.               They offered a 15 and  a 30 cwt capacity truck.
These were stylish vehicles and they  had a very stylish emblem showing the Greek God Mercury with a parcel under the left arm.  You have to look years for this nice emblem.


on the parcel you can read:  delivery de luxe

the original emblem was made by: ROBBINS CO ATTLEBORO MASS

          For more information see my chapter:  Manufacturers of enamel emblems (list top right ).


As it is rare and beautiful Harry Pulfer offered a repro that was made in Hongkong.
The repro is much smaller and missing a lot of details. Look at your own:
