RadiatorEmblems

This page is dedicated to pre war car emblems and interesting post war emblems I want to present to you the most beautiful and the most rarest emblems on this page. To my knowledge the first enameled radiator emblem was on the Georges Richard1903. From this time on thousands of these nice artifacts were mounted on the radiator to identify the car. If you send me a picture from your favorite emblems I´ll post them with a comment. ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU WILL FIND AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CARMAKERS.

FASTO / FR

FASTO / St. ELOY / FRANCE ( 1926 - 1928 )

The FASTO was a short lived company. They started car production in St.Eloy / France in 1926.
It was an undistinguished car using a 4- and a 6- cylinder engine in a conventional chassis. Nothing special on it. No production numbers known and the emblem is a hard to find item.

Size	ca. 5 cm
Year	1926 - 1929
Estimate

Reverse of the FASTO emblem:

no makers mark (as usual in FRANCE)

one of the rare advertisments :" La marque de confiance" : the car you can trust

Welcome

I started collecting radiator emblems in 1976. I remember this clearly because I had to give my first car to the local scrapyard. It was a still nice looking Volkswagen squareback. The scrapyard director was interested in my car and I was interested in the emblems of all cars in the field. So a deal was made. And I went home with a bucket full of emblems. Later I've been on swap meets all around the world. I started buying emblems on Ebay in 1999. From this time on prices became comparable for the first time. This made it possible for me to invent a five-star system to categorize emblems based on their rarity and value.This table is applicable for original emblems in a good but not perfect shape. Not for reproductions.
