Original Oakland oval style enamel radiator badge emblem insignia nameplate. The Oakland was built from 1907 to 1931 in Pontiac, MI and was replaced by the Pontiac. Online research indicates this type of emblem was used from 1926-28 but I do not know exact year, model, or application for this example. Badges like these were made using the champleve or guilloche process of heat bonding melted glass to a copper base which was then plated. 2 15/16" wide by 1 13.../16" high, blue and white enamel with nickel plating and a highly detailed floral border. This is the larger of two sizes this emblem was made in. No makers mark visible. Fair to good used condition, no cracks, dent at top center, a few scratches. These emblems are normally convex in cross section but this one has been almost completely flattened, with heavy enamel damage. Border details are very sharp and clear, original plating shows wear and patina, mounting cup is intact but bent. Great for your collection, use as is on a driver or could be restored.
