FALCON KNIGHT / USA

The FALCON - KNIGHT , a daughter company of the WILLYS Motor Company was planned to fill the gap between the WHIPPET and the WILLYS-KNIGHT. The FALCON - KNIGHT - using a six-cylinder sleeve-valve engine - did this well. More than 5,700 cars were sold in 1927 and more than 5,300 in 1928. A few more were assembled in 1929, than the company was absorbed into the parent organization.

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.
