Thanks Adam, I do see the emblem script now in the enlarged photo. I collect radiator badges among my other vices and would love to find one of those!Adam wrote:Hello Don
If you double click on the thumbnail picture, you get a full-screen sized image. At least you do on my computer! With that, you can probably make out the words "Packard London"on the badge. I have always assumed that the badges were made for the UK consessionaires (a very old fashioned word), who were W.C Gaunt & co, based in Piccadilly, London. The building is still there, but it is a shopping street now.
The motometer also has an image of a biplane and the Packard radiator shape. I am not sure if that was widely used, but I have never seen another of the pair of wings that form the radiator mascot. Does anyone know different?
Adam..
The motometer and biplane label plate were standard for the day. Wing ornaments were also common aftermarket items although yours appears to be designed for specific fit on the bail cap - could very well be a Packard accessory. I'll bet someone on this forum has an accessory catalog...
