Often misquoted movie line. Apparently, I really did need some badges. These are the ones I'm keeping after picking up all the ones I bought at auction on Sun. Any authorities on these here on oldgas? I just bought what I thought were cool.

1920's emblems for radiators grill most should have the mount on the back or a small stud to screw on to the grill. There all a porciyln enamel and brass. Those three Oldsmobile badges are nice wish I could get my hands on just one of them.

Nice badges, the one between the Rickenbacker and Reo is from a 1948 Dodge. Some rare names there. Happy Hunting, Raymond

That's where they got the name. Saw an old grill with logo I believe. Same with Buffalo Springfield. That was a heavy equipment maker I believe.

Another dangerous area is early insurance association badges. Seems one can never have too many.

Oh no! I'll have to stay away from those. I already have one. They say if you got three you're collecting.
