Saint Christopher Medals

They have been on cars for over a 100 years. All collections start with one item, for me it was this one.

Then I found another in better condition, but the stamping was slightly different.

Then the collector in me got rolling, I didn't know I'd sold off so many over the years until just now looking for some special ones that are not there. Bob


They have to have a car on them to get my interest, wings are a big plus.

Really like this Carmel Mission medal, higher quality than the others, note the car has gotten a bit newer than the threesome above. Bob

 

Your medals are great! Many i haven't seen before. Thanks.

here's the St. Christopher medal in my coupe. It's a pretty common one but I like it.

Neat stuff. Just about every unrestored 1920s /1930s vintage car that ends up here after its long life in France has two little holes in the dash rail. Former owners have kept the St Christopher badge.

 

This pin was in every car my Pop ever owned; in my car now.

Both of you lived.........someone was watching out for you.

 

I have 4 St. Christopher wings. One of which is on the header in my Model A. I need to clean up how its mounted as I just put it up to see how it would look.


The other 3 I mounted on a piece of steel I engine turned. Forgive the SCTA emblem that is there as well.

 

The details aren't always the best, on top of the globe are an airplane on the left and a blimp or Zeppelin on the right, car and train, and a ship on the bottom. Happy to swap this one or another for a CONNECTICUT St. Christopher. Bob

 

Here is one in French, in case an affordable Bugatti turns up. Bob


This has a Deco look to it.

 

Only one I've ever seen with a motorcycle, just found these two at the bottom of my case, so happy they weren't sold after all. bob

 

Ok i didnt even know this was a thing. Im 35 my name is christoper and this has been in my 53 ford customline since i got the car when i was 14. I left it on the headliner cause i thought it was neat. I really dont need to collect more stuff.

These are really cool. I have St. Christopher hanging from my rear view, but I'm goining to look for these from now on. Especially for my A... Great stuff, thank you for posting this...

 

I have a few old dog tags and this one had a well worn St. Christopher attached when I got it years ago.

 

maybe you are looking at it backwards. maybe a "thanks" for not gettin it worse....... just sayin

 

I found this medal in some stuff I inherited in the garage/workshop when I bought my first house.



It is in my coupe.

 

My only one.Don't remember where I got it but it's old.

 

I was able to find this St. Christopher wing. Not too often do you find one that has porcelain.

 

A friend of my family always had one on a chain around his neck and screwed to the instrument panel of the P47`s he flew in Europe.Always came home safe.But he said many times damed if I know how I did.I just said thanks to St Christopher and the good Lord.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

 

The one I just got for my 54

Since it has MINNESOTA across the top, it had to become part of my collection.

 

Some of mine...the surfer one I have had for a long time ... I figured it would be cool to put in my woody wagon ...well I have had a few wagons through the years but none of them Woody's...so it spent some time in a 57'Chrysler Windsor Wagon .....the surfer is almost worn off.....

A pressed metal one I have . The center piece is 1 1/2" long

 

I added a few more St. Christopher wings to my collection. I really like this style.

 

Got this last night at an auction.

 

If anyone has one they'd part with I'm looking for one for my Model A. I had a few of them, but lost them in a break-in a few years ago, haven't seen one since (haven't looked toooo hard mind you).

@Ryan I think I found the problem... St. Christopher is the patron saint of hot rodders and wayward hoodlums, not Camaro-driving mamas boys

 

Well I managed to kill the thread trying to be funny. Blame my mother, she had a really morbid sense of humour.

Personally, I think that's funny! HRP

 

Here’s ours in the truck.
