RadiatorEmblems: MORETTI / ITALY

MORETTI / ITALY

The MORETTI MOTOR CAR COMPANY was founded by Giovanni Moretti in Turin / Italy in 1925 offering motorcycles.
In 1928 he presented his first car, a three seater with a two-cylinder engine, but only a prototype was built.

During WWII he built a commercial car electric powered called: ELETTROCARRI.
Sadly no Elettrocarri has survived, but I found this wonderful front emblem:

Giovanni Moretti was using a bull as symbol for strengh

Dimensions	10.00 cm
Year	1940 - 1944
Estimate

I only found this ( bad ) picture showing the MORETTI ELETTROCARRI

In 1945 MORETTI presented the type CITA, a small car with 350ccm engine.

During the nineteenfifties the MORETTI cars still had an emblem showing the bull

Dimensions	4.2 cm x 5.1 cm
Year	1945 - 1959
Estimate

MORETTI front badge of the sixties and seventies

Dimensions	3.5cm x 4.2 cm
Year	1960 - 1970
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.
