MOON radiator emblem. No maker´s mark on backside

This MOON emblem was one year only emblem. In 1915 you saw it on the radiator when MOON sold 1,713 cars. So you have to look years for it.

MOON Motor car St. Louis radiator emblem

This nice emblem is from the best selling MOON car. Their production peak was 1925 with 7,567 cars sold. A very sought-after emblem. But you still find an original, so don´t buy a reproduction.

MOON radiator emblem

To my knowledge this is the first enameled MOON Motor car radiator emblem they built. I guess that it is from 1912. I have never seen a second one.
If someone has a contemporary picture or ad,  please let me know. It is a large emblem with a flat backside.
This one is reenameled.

Size	7.8 cm x 5.3 cm
Year	ca. 1912
