Thought Some Here Might Appreciate This

That is a GREAT collection!

 

way cool

 

very unique...what is with the "x" scratched
to every one ??

 

That's actually the fishing line that's holding them on. The camera picks it up more than the eye does.

 

That was on a 1923 MOON, I have a book that can help identify the years of many old emblems. Bob

 

Very cool.
Some really rare ones in that collection.
Great way to display and enjoy them!

 

Thanks for the tip on the book! Might have to put that on my Christmas list.

 

The Dodge Brothers insignia is a mystery. There is much speculation as to the meaning, but no real answer. The Brothers were neither Jewish or known to be Masons. You've got a cool display, be proud of it. BTW, I've read that there were about 5000 differant car Co.s in the US. Many only built one or two cars.

 

Love it! Great Job! Thanks for sharing with us.

 

very cool collection. to think that at one time, all those cars where in the junk yard.

dodge bros. are not known masons. but, walter p. chrysler was.

 

I, ummmm.... What's a Henway???...

 

about 4 pounds.

 

Cool, especially with the story behind them. Freakin cool.

 

In the 60's My dad was friends with the local Chevy dealer who would remove the owners manuals from all the old, used, trade in cars. The dealer would give them to my dad, who would bring them to me. I must have had over a 100 manuals that I ended up give away later on.

Also, the dealer would routinely remove the new small,factory hub caps, and replace them with full size after market "spinner" type hub caps. Dealer gave us about 1/2 a pickup load of the new small hub caps. We lived out in the country, so naturally they became targets for our 22's. Worst part is they all eventually ended up at the local dump.

 

The Dodge Brothers had an ongoing feud with Henry Ford. Ford wasn't very fond of Jewish people at the time. The speculation was that the Dodge Brothers did that just to piss Ford off.

 

absolutely amazing collection and great story to boot!

 

Nice collection and you have the perfect place to display them.
