RadiatorEmblems: MADISON / USA

MADISON / USA

The MADISON MOTORS CO. was founded by Cecil Gibson and Henry Nyberg. Before H. Nyberg had his own car factory in Anderson / Indiana.

They offered a straight six engine with 22 hp, later with 24 hp.
Again there was no commercial succes and car production ceased in 1919.
Only 453 cars were sold so you have to look years for an MADISON emblem.

This emblem was part of the Lee Roy Hartung collection that was up for auction in 2011 ( please see Lee Roy Hartung in the list - top right ).

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.
