    Actually all they ever had was the three car logo. Unless you mean the little dash plaques.

    That Ruptured Duck topper is the coolest! I have been looking for one for a while, that is the nicest one (design and condition) that I have seen.

    I scored this cool one this weekend on a local flea market (yes, in France !), really nice, and really strange to find these here.

    Here is mine:

    The blue area is some sort of plastic.
    Can this be repaired?
    SHOULD this be repaired?

    The blue area may be cloisonne, a type of enamel work. It could be repaired, possibly by a jeweler.

    But are you sure this is a license topper?
    Can't tell the size, but it looks suspiciously like a veteran's grave marker...

    This came to me about 25 years ago on a '34 Chevy that had been sitting in a Garage in Chicago since the late 40's. This piece was on one side of the licence place and a small flag holder was on the other.

    I've never seen another like it till now.
    ebay link

    Your suggestion got me to thinking so I checked Ebay for similar and this popped, so YES it IS a topper.

    Just came across this post. Thanks spicoli! I will make this post an intro also, I belong to a few forums and have seen this one mentioned a bunch of times. Currently have a stock, virgin '58 Caddy, 1970 Opel GT (no laughing), '73 Yamaha 650 hardtail and I have two Model A's that I will need to have shipped to me from Aruba (long story - but if you are in the shipping business send me a message - I need some help with transport).

    I have been out of full-time work for almost two years, so I have been doing a buch of stuff to support the family and my "hobbies" one of them being www.coolcastings.com I make old school emblems and toppers, see below for a few examples.

    Thanks for the site and if you have some time check out my site. Thanks, Jim

    Just won this one for the future Mrs. Boozoo.

    [​IMG]

    She's an Illinois grad, so she's going to probably let loose the waterworks when I refinish it for her birthday. Plan is to put it on our Hudson pickup when we get it done.

    And I have to thank you bastards yet again. Because of y'all, I now have yet another area to blow my money on. When I'm living in a van down by the river after I go flat busted broke, I'm going to wear a cardboard sign that says, "HAMB did this to me. Please help!"
    :D

    Shoot... I forgot about one more I just got... and I don't even have a pic. :(

    It's an aluminum-cast "Civil Defense Auxilliary Police" topper. Super cool... can't wait to finish something worth putting it on. :)
