General emblems collected over the years. This is a mounted collection from a mechanic shop that assembled them and who recently gave them to me. The collection is about 3' x 3' is mounted and in good to very good shape. Seeing that many emblems together so well presented caught my attention. Enjoy

Very unique and wonderful display. This is a really neat piece, thanks for sharing.
thanks kerry....
They must have really liked you to give you that! Items there worth some bucks. I even think the shadow box shows great taste.
Thanks blunder.... from a very sweet lady /friend of many years/ I appreciate the value of some of the older items but it is a gift I cherish.
I was just pointing out the value. My attention was also caught by the simple rustic background of the shadowbox. No more common green & red felt backgrounds for me. Cork may even be a good choice(thinking out loud).
blunder... very much appreciate the dialogue... I like the natural wood mounting too. Nice to chat....
thanks jason...glad you all are enjoying the post
Nice to have them give this to you. Would sell prob for a pretty penny by auction these days when anything car related is so hot. Phil
