  • Badge Identification Help

    My thoughtful step-daughter in Fort Wayne, IN gave me this wonderful Studebaker badge for Christmas. It appears to be made of brass with white and black inlay with what appears to be some kind of red reflective material in the spokes. It measures approximately 2 3/4 inches across from tip to tip, and the circle diameter is about 2 1/4 inches. While I'm certain its pre-war (perhaps pre-WW1), any information someone can provide about the models and years Studebaker would have used this on would be greatly appreciated. All she knew was that it came from eBay.

    These look like the Original Grill Emblems, they were Baked Ceramic on Steel on early Cars.
    Sorry I have no knowledge of years of Pre-War Cars.

      That's neat Mike, lucky guy!

      When Richard Quinn sees this, he should be able to tell you the year, model, body style, and maybe even the serial number of the car it came off of. OK, maybe not the serial number, but never say never when Richard Quinn is concerned.

        I've always wished someone would make an identical size shirt badge.

          You read my mind, Paul. He's probably finding a pic of the car it came off of right now.

            That style is called cloisonne' or similar to it. I think Stude used it in the 1930's.
