Here you see the "common" DUESENBERG emblem. Still expensiv as every car.
So be careful, there are a lot of reproductions.

Year1920 - 1937
Estimate


                                     On top: the original          down: the repro
                                   
                                     There is no makers mark on the back.
                                      But you can easily make distinctions:

DUESENBERG

DUESENBERG radiator emblem - silver plated-

One of the most famous and most expensive cars were built by Frederick DUESENBERG, born in Germany in 1877. His family emigrated to the States and Fred built his first car in Indianapolis in 1920.
Here you see one of the first Duesenberg emblems. I guess it is from the first model.

Dimensions5.4 cm  x 9.5 cm
Yearca. 1920
Estimate
 


Of course the original emblem was silver plated. Here you see a  German repro from GOEDE and of course not silver plated, only chromed.  Please also compare the backsides.

                       Here you see both backsides: no doubt,  the left emblem is the original !
