MORRISS LONDON / UK

Frank E. MORRISS was a successful importer in the car business.  In 1919 he imported 200 chassis from the American CROW - ELKHART to build a car under his own name.
He only sold around 100 before going bankrupt and his firm was bought by the SAUNDERS company.

They used a wonderful emblem showing St. Pauls Cathedral of London that was the prototype for the Capitol in Washington.
A hard to find item !
Don´t mix it up with the famous MORRIS from William Morris who built the Morris Oxford etc.
Year
Dimensions
     ca.  6.0  cm      
 1919 - 1920
