ALBERT / VAUXHALL / CHISWICK / UK ( 1920 - 1929 )
I am delighted to be able to present this very rare emblem here. Until recently, I did not know that any emblem from this brand had survived.
The vehicle from the ALBERT company was manufactured by the vehicleGWYNNE'S Engineering Co. Ltd of Chiswick. This explains the striking similarity to the GWYNNE radiator emblem.
Information on the internet suggests that around 2,000 vehicles were built. I consider this estimate to be far too high, not least because the emblem is so rare. In any case, I haven't found any photos of surviving vehicles.

The company advertised with the slogan: “The Light Car of the Year,” as evidenced by this 1923 advertisement. However, the vehicle was never a commercial success, and production of the ALBERT was discontinued at least in 1930.
The GWYNNE emblem had an identical design, presumably to document its link to the GWYNNE factory:
