FAUN / Nurnberg Ansbach / Germany ( 1918 - 1990 )
The German FAUN (= Fahrzeugfabriken Ansbach und Nurnberg) started truck production in 1918.
In 1924 to 1927 they offered a private car without any commercial success.
From 1928 to 1990 only commercial trucks were built.

I have never seen a truck or a photo of a truck showing this particular emblem.
Nevertheless it is a wonderful item.

After WWII there were metal emblems only like this nice radiator cap.
