Where can I find more information about the National Automobile Association? I'm curious which states were included in the Western States Auto Club. I'm also curious about the vintage and anything else I can learn. All I know is that this badge exists. Everything else remains a mystery.
There have been at least three National Automobile Associations: 1904-? One of the earliest auto clubs, based in Boston, it was strong at least into the 1920s. 1917-8 Wilson & Valrez, organizers. Omaha Auto Club warned it was a scam. 1922-? Ohio, Illinois & Indiana state associations seceded from the AAA to form a NAA. The Western States Auto Club was a Missouri for-profit corporation, but I wasn't able to find its dates. Here's a 1938 ad from a Missouri garage:
