MWF Magdeburger Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik

There was a time in the ninteentwenties when a lot manufacturer of tool machines had plans to start a car or truck production. In Germany the Magdeburger Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik ( MWF ) realized their first truck in 1924 with a four cylinder engine for 2 1/2 payload. The truck was sold locally and after 4 years only the production ceased. It seems that not a single truck survives today.
Total production is thought to be about a few hundred so you have to look years for the emblem.

emblem was found in a sample swatch of the defunct company Ch. Lauer (see my post: manufacturer of enamel emblems )

Dimension	7.9 cm
Year	1924- 1928
Estimate

NOS emblem without makers mark

you can see the enamel emblem on the radiator and painted on the cabin door

For more beautiful truck and car emblems see older posts or top right ( list of car makers ).

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.

	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$
