GUY MOTORS LIMITED / WOLVERHAMTON / UK ( 1919 - 1925 )
GUY founded by Sydney S. Guy was well knwon as Commercials manufacturer and started making privat automobiles after WWI.
They offered the first british made V8 engine and a chassis with automatic lubrification. To my knowledge they sold 25 automobiles.
Thats why they offered a more simple four-cylinder model with COVENTRY CLIMAX motor in 1924. Sales figures for the four-cylinder GUY were modeste, they sold about 110 cars and GUY concentrated on commercial vehicles. The last commercial lorry was sold under the name GUY in the nineteen sixties.
Less than 150 privat cars were built so this emblem is very, very rare:

Of course, there are many other GUY emblems, but these are all from trucks or buses. Of these emblems, I am showing my favorite here, as it features a magnificently enameled Native American head:
