If they were srious about running these engines down the line like it appears, I would have thought at least 100. Does George Krem PBW have R3 emblems?

Yessum. If the R3 emblems weren't present somebody at the PSMCD has some explainin' to do [)]....
They are a very innocent, very plain jane, black and white(or is that gray) type of emblem. Of course the rest of the vehicle, well that's another story.....[}]

I think there were quite a few sets made up. I remember getting to the nationals in SB back in 1970 or so and they had had them in the bin for 1.75 ea. They were all gone when I arrived on Sat but I did buy some R1 and R2 ovals for that price. Stu V later had them for $8 ea. But back in those days I couldn't even afford the $16 for a set.

Dan,
I said quite a few and by that I would say at least 100 R4 and the same for the R3. I do know that the Hot Rod road test R3 Daytona had prototype emblems made for the sides and also the grill badge was hand made. The Bonneville R3 cars did not carry fender tags and their grill badges were prototype on at least a couple of the cars.

As I've never seen these emblems, any possiblity of posting a couple pictures?

Aw Nels, I wish I'da known......... Imust have had 30 or so. When I realized they weren't red, white and blue like the R1 and R2 emblems, I figured they were rejects. Threw 'em all away. Sorry. [V]

Yes, the Plain Brown Wrapper has genuine, original R3 fender emblems. Bob Palma and I stole them off a car on one of our proving grounds sneaky trips.......actually, I was one of the lucky ones who found an NOS pair in the Standard Surplus/Newman Altman bins around 1969/1970. They were buried beneath several hundred R1/R2 oval emblems. Up until that time, the PBW had R2 emblems. I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but $1.75 sounds right. Wish I'd grabbed more.
Good luck with your hunt, Nels.
