|
|
Hi
I have acquired 2 Riley badges.
Cast aluminium or possibly another white metal (Mazak) Two and a half inch diameter, the pillar on the back is 5/16" tall and one has a slot and the other a hole through it where the slot is on the other one. I suspect that they are meant to have a hole which had a pin through it for fixing it and it has had to be removed by sawing down to unfasten it from wherever.
Does anyone recognise them?
Model type? Where on the car? _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10

They look like centre caps for the wire wheels on pre-1934 Nines. |

These look like BMC Riley items, possibly off 4/72 hubcaps. Certainly not prewar. |

Quite right. They were used in the centre of the hubcaps on One-point-Five, Elf, 4/68, 4/72, and Pathfinder. Not sure about ADO 16. |
