It's about 12" wide... any ideas what year it might be from?


Thanks for any ideas.

(I am assuming it's something somewhat earlier so posting it here instead of Q&A)

Oh, and the center badge is separate from the wings, there is a stud through the center with a nut..

Well, it's no earlier than a 1924........

I have the remains of a grill shell from a 1925 Chrysler that has the same center part. That is recessed into the shell, there is no recess, nor is the room for the wings. I wonder if it might be for a Chrysler Airflow? Wouldn't be beyond the concept of adding the wings to the earlier badge for something special like the Airflow was suppose to be. Gene

Thanks for the thoughts so far guys..

i thought i had the answer. i have the exact item that came from the deck lid of a '36 chrysler royal. that is, until my "wings" measured only a tad over 6" in length. [that means oz's wings are BIGGER than my wings !] how big are your HANDS oz ? but i think the the airflow cars had a big wing below the rear window. my guess is it belongs to one of those. good garage art score !

I just spent ages trying to run down a "Flying Lady" for my '33...no luck. So the missus got me another flying lady from a '31 Caddy I think.

No sooner did that arrive, than one of my boys found an original '33 for me! Lucky guy.

While I was searching, I found several Pinterest thingies with many old hood emblems, and I seem to recall seeing one or two like yours. Plus if you do a Google search for Chrysler emblems, I have a hunch it might show up there. Worth a try anyway. Good luck.

Thanks for the idea.

And might look for pics of Airflows as well to see if it looks similar.
