RadiatorEmblems: MUCHOW / Germany

MUCHOW / Germany

The German ELITE Werke ( 1914 to 1929 see my post ELITE/GER ) also built trucks. A member of the management board, Mr. Paul Muchow acquired the Berlin part of the premises during a financial crisis of ELITE in 1928.
There he built under his name convential and electric trucks especially for municipal street cleaning.
Production numbers are unknown. It is doubtful that more than hundred trucks were produced.

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.
