Show us your badges n emblems.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Any badges/emblems and whatnot that you horde gathering dust.

I especially like this old Renner whatsit- the fashion conscious Shiter could stick it on a gold chain and be yoof like Jensen Hamilton.

Had hundreds of em collected as a kid in the 70's

Flogged the lot off on Ebay about 6 years ago for about 800 quid

still wish Id kept em mind, had some bloody rare ones and all the horn rings bosses etc..

[Uncle Jimmy]

I purchase any that I like, especially ' 60s/70s stuff. If it's rare I sometimes move it on.

Same, except replace '70s' with '90s' and 'about 800 quid' with 'pee pee poo poo'.

I used to collect them as well back in the 80's but all have been lost over the years. I have got this though.

[chaseracer]

Somewhere*, I have the plastic emblem from a 60s Fiat 600 and a maHOOsive metal badge off a Bedford truck.

[cros]

I'd really should have a badge from a combine harvester but I think they usually just paint the name on.

[Skoze]

Not gathering dust, but I do enjoy these two;

[seth]

If anyone has or comes across any Borgward ones please let me know...

 

[oldcars]

I have an Austin one and a Vauxhall one from the 80s Might pop them up in the shed.

[Uncle Jimmy]

If anyone has or comes across any Borgward ones please let me know...

 

I imagine the 'Combi' is difficult to find. Re-plating possible?

[Uncle Jimmy]

...was it your Borgward Isabella I saw on a Tuesday night at the Ace Cafe about 4 years ago?

It did appear at the Ace once, or at least the bare shell did, on its way to North Wales for storage.  I think 3D printing might be the solution to rare badges.  If you can scan an original You could print one 5-10% larger and then use that as a master for brass casting or similar.  Or just wrap a 1:1 printed one in kitchen foil.

[mercrocker]

Got quite a few dotted around the house plus a tin full in the shed. Most purloined from scrappers in the 70s...Sold some for strong money which I have now spent. Been better off left in the tin....

[MrDuke]

On my office wall. One day I'll get round to wiring in a battery for the bulb.

 

[mercrocker]

Here's a rare one out of my tin...

 

 

[scruff]

Shed door at my grandad's...

 

[mercrocker]

That is a work of art. Love the Douglas one...

[danthecapriman]

I don't have many, other than the ones attached to my cars.

The CF badge and number plate letters (can't remember their correct order) were from an R reg CF tipper that was rotten.

The AEC badge came from a 1967 Ergomatic 8 wheeler flatbed that was also totally rotten!

 

 

 

I've got a few others laying around somewhere, a Minor 1000 metal badge being one of them. Can't find them though!

[D Spares & Tyres]

Love that AEC one

 

Reminds me of Supermans pants
