Afternoon All,

My father in law has a fetish with classic car badges and has recently purchased a number of mix badges. One of which we have no idea what it is from. Any ideas guys?

:roll eyes: My guess is it the corner of a Art Deco Mirror or table, not a car badge at all :-(

It looks more like a piece of trim from a coach rather than a 'badge'.

If it were a car badge there would almost certainly be studs of some description cast onto the back face to mount it to the car (or at least the remains of some studs should still be there).

If there are no studs on the back then I'd pretty much guarantee it's not a car badge.

I have noted the two countersunk screw holes plus the single non-countersunk hole in the item, but giving it the benefit of the doubt, it is possible that these holes could have been added later rather during manufacture. I would have serious doubts about a car badge being mounted with countersunk screws through the front face though (not impossible but highly unlikely as it's just too crude).
