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

The shell tooling could have been used in U.S.A. first then sent to us or made specifically for Canada. Still researching. You can see the two slots in the shell that correspond to the two tabs on the back of the emblem. The owner has seen one of these shells complete with a Canadian emblem mounted on it but not any U.S. as of yet. If you have any information or photographs on this early piece, please post here. |

Re: Canadian rad emblem is different than U.S.A.
The U.S. supplied shells, that required the lacing threaded, also had the two locating slots for the emblem. It would appear that there were two versions of the threaded shells. One with large holes for threading, and then an interim version, that had both large holes for threading, and also smaller holes for riveting. My Canadian version also has a number stamped on the edge, as per photo. Has anyone else noted this feature, I am wondering if these Canadian shells were sequentially stamped?

Re: Canadian rad emblem is different than U.S.A.
Here is an interesting photo, of an early shell posted by John LaVoy. It is probably not Canadian, but worth posting. It shows that the shell was stamped originally like the Model Ts, before being stamped to accept the separate emblem.

Is there any front photograph that you know of? Are you thinking it was U.S. or somewhere else? Do you know if a Model A ever used the shell with just the Ford script in the oval stamped directly in the piece as it looks like the hole in this one was an afterthought? |

Re: Canadian rad emblem is different than U.S.A.
Sorry for being late to this thread about the radiator shell. I was looking for info on the badge and saw the subsequent posts. I had a VE28 shell at one point and it also had the tabs for the badge. It was US-made (I assume) and there were no numbers on it anywhere.
