Are you sure they are off a vehicle? They have to me rather the look of an airline badge.

Don't think they're Rootes. I've had an Alpine and a couple of Sunbeams and none had badges like that

I have seen these before. They are from a Ford Zodiac Mk4 Executive.

The tops of the crowns are missing on the top one.

You're right - they weren't used on the Zodiac - I got that from a mis-labelled photo on google
