Canadian rad emblem is different than U.S.A.

[Model "A" Fords]

The Canadian rad emblem from the beginning of production until the end of January 1929 was a dark blue vitreous enamel that appeared Black. The script and lipped edge were Nickel plated, unpolished. The base was Copper or Brass.

Photograph of original shows the Blue in the chips. They were made by Day Nameplates Ltd. Toronto Canada and D.L.Auld Co. Columbus O.

Reproductions are black and the edge has no lip. The Dark Blue to date is the only recognized emblem for judging but investigation is ongoing to see if Black had possibly been used for some.

Starting February 1929 the enamel was eliminated leaving the entire emblem Unpolished Nickel. The base, still Copper or Brass.

Starting with the 1930 shell the emblem was still minus the enamel and was plated Dull Chrome. The base, still Copper or Brass.

The 1931 style shell used a stamped stainless steel emblem with reassess either left plain or painted Black.
