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 French Brasier 1904. 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.

MAIBOHM / USA

The MAIBOHM Motors started car production in Ohio in 1916. The company was named after the founder Peter C. Maibohm who was a blacksmith, wagonmaker and real estate man. He offered an assembled car using a 4-cylinder engine.
The company´s best production year had been 1920 when they built 1,212 cars.
After a fire they moved from Racine to Sandusky in 1919.
In 1923 a refined Maibohm was offered as a Courier. 373 Courier cars were sold only and car production ceased still that year. Don´t mess it up with the COURIER Car Company of Dayton / Ohio ( 1909 - 1912 ).

The name of Maibohm means: tree in the month of may (maypole)

Dimensions	ca. 4.5 cm x 5.5 cm
Year	1916 - 1919
Estimate

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.

	A common pre-war emblem from a mass producer like Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler etc. Value: 0$ - 50$
	Still a well known car but no high production quantities. Value: 50$ - 200$
	Here it starts with the highly collectible emblems. Value: 200$ - 500$
	A very rare and very desirable emblem. You have to look years to find one of these. Value: 500$ - 800$
	An ultra rare piece. Prices are sometimes 800$ and more.
