    I bought this cool Stewart Warner emblem for $1 at a flea market! I am curious to find out what it was used on. Can anyone help me out? (Quarter is for size comparison)

    Think it was on a Stewart Warner South Wind Heater. Big Kev.

    Wow, thanks for the quick answer!
    Sorry SUHRSC, but I think I'm gonna keep it to put on my dash.
    I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of those heaters.
    Thanks!

    never seen a heater with that on it.
    for some reason I think it is off a display..??

    Here's what I picture as a southwind.

    Thats a great emblem, in nice shape too! That was actually off of a 1930's-40's Stewart Warner refrigerator, and also a couple of their radios used that emblem too. A good friend of mine has one on his fridge, they are really art deco. That would look great on a dash filled with crescent needle gauges.....

    I've seen fridge emblems and they are usually stamped tin and chromed, and about 4 or 5 inches across. I'd bet this smaller enameled emblem came from a radio. Definitely not from the style Southwind heater that most of us are familiar with.

    Thanks again for the information. I didn't know Stewart Warner made refrigerators or radios!

    The emblem is stamped metal (1/16th thick?), and probably used to be chrome, but it has worn off. The green does seem to be enamel.

    Just today I got a really cool thermostat from a house with the Stewart Warner logo on it. Apparently they made all kinds of cool shit.
