Re: radiator emblem Q...
Can't tell you whether they are original etc but it looks like the middle one has a black background. If that is so, it belongs to a Canadian car.

Re: radiator emblem Q...
Many original emblems have a reversed Ford script indented on the back. Also 28 and early 29 emblems had a stepped edge on the outer plated area. 29 and early 30's had a rounded edge on the outside. I am posting some original emblems below. Note the first picture is stepped edge.

Does the type of fastener shown on back of my emblem indicate anything to you ? My edge is 'rounded' on the outside. |
