HANSA LLOYD / GER

HANSA LLYOD trucks and cars were made in North Germany  (Varel and  Bremen, 1914 - 1939 ).
During WWI a large quantity of trucks were built. Also electric vehicles were continued, which had been a speciality of Lloyd.


This my oldest HANSA LLOYD emblem:

I bought this emblem in three pieces:

In old pictures you can see that there was an enameled radiator emblem in 1913.
It had the shape of a kidney.

Some emblems were enameled on front and back side to avoid tensions when cooling down after firing the glass powder.

Later in 1932 another truck emblem was created. This truck sold very well so you still have the chance to buy an original emblem.

this emblem was enameled with the screen printing method: no bars separating the colors

Year	1932

The electric vehicles and later the private cars had an emblem made in the shape of an triangle:

The  HANSA Lloyd type Trumpf - Ass had an straight eight - cylinder engine with 100 hp.
The car sold poorly so you have to look years for this emblem.

the emblem shown above was registered and patented in 1922

 

In 1920, HANSA LLOYD patented a curious emblem where the tip points downwards and the letters H + L look like they have been squeezed in. To my knowlege this emblem was never realized.

 

                                       
While WW II they used aluminium for the emblem to save noble metal like brass.
This is from a truck radiator.

Size	36.5 x  9.3 cm
Year	1942
Estimate

no makers mark on the backside

In 1929 the production plants and the name was bought by BORGWARD.  The next car with the name LLOYD was made after WW II in 1950.
