Projects Badge restoration

I found an incredible master at her craft, Karla Maxwell at MaxwellEnamelsdotcom....she restored my Dodge Brothers wings badge. It was in pretty bad shape and at 8 inches it's larger than most badges, she did a great job!!

 

Dam that does look good!

 

Nice!

 

Looks great. Thanks for the info. How many good people can there be who do that fine work? TEB

Thanks guy's, she blew my mind, she was doing early 20th century Delahayes badges that were awesome, she definitely knows her stuff

 

I just phoned Karla, she is very knowledgeable and I learned a thing or two.... I look forward to meeting her and getting my badges restored by her.

I looked around years ago to to have the 'Hydramatic' trunk emblem for my 46 Olds hard-enamelled (Cloisonne) and came across them in my search to find someone. I know that wouldn't be cheap exercise but wow, outstanding and well worth it. I was lucky enough to then come across a NOS one but might get them to redo the original emblem.

 

Looks great! Is that Star of David original in their logo?

 

Don't mean to be a corrector, but I was put on to a guy who does high end restos today, and he says this term, Cloisonne, is incorrect.
The process is called Champlev'e.

That 'star' is original, but it's actually two Greek deltas representing two letter 'D's forming that six-pointed star in the middle. It's similar to the Star of David, but the Dodge brothers were'nt even Jewish.

 

Your link doubled up. Well leave it to the Frogs, all my restorer friends need to be re-edumcated

 

Ha, I just realised it's the same company, Maxwell's

Hey CCJ,
Haven't heard of Dulzura, CA since 1961-62. On several of our surf trips to Baja, we came back through Tecate instead of TJ. We drove right through Dulzura and Jamul on the way back to the freeways to San Diego and finally back to Long Bbeach. Wow, that is still remote.

The drive was scenic via the back roads of Baja from Ensenada to Tecate. The beer factory in Tecate was pretty reasonable. You just had to watch out for the big trucks in the narrow roads. It was always a day trip because at night it was very "shaky" on those roads.

 

I love it here. Last night I took my oldest out for a drive in the Valiant. He loves it when I get it sideways and we get all 4 barrels open. You just can't do that in town anymore....

I use my best judgement, don't get any ideas of me trying to endanger my kid LOL....

What metal was the emblem made out of? Copper??

 

Sorry I never saw the response to my post, it looked copper to me
