RadiatorEmblems

This page is dedicated to pre war car emblems and interesting post war emblems I want to present to you the most beautiful and the most rarest emblems on this page. To my knowledge the first enameled radiator emblem was on the Georges Richard1903. From this time on thousands of these nice artifacts were mounted on the radiator to identify the car. If you send me a picture from your favorite emblems I´ll post them with a comment. ON THE RIGHT SIDE YOU FIND AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF CARMAKERS.

JOUFFRET / FRANCE

JOUFFRET S.A. / SURESNES / COLOMBES / FRANCE ( 1920 - 1926 )

JOUFFRET was a French vehicle manufacturer founded by Leon Demeester in Suresnes, a suburb of Paris in 1920. It used engines from BALLOT, RUBY and SCAP. In 1924, the company SIDEA was acquired. Some vehicles were then marketed under the double name SIDEA - JOUFFRET (see photo below). According to estimates on the specialized website: automobilia8545 around 300 vehicles were manufactured during the company's existence. The German Wikipedia states that the company existed until 1928, while the English Wikipedia states that it only existed until 1926. Obviously, the end date is unclear.

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.
