| It says made in France but I don't see a brand mark on it. It's probably from the '70s or '80s (aftermarket). Looks like it was never used (vinyl instead of leather... but still looks to be made with the same process that a leather wheel would have used). |

| This Fiat badge is incredibly well made. It's made of three main pieces: The Outer ring is brazed to the center backing piece (with the holes in it). The center insert is made with the cloisonne process then is joined to the backing piece trough the two pins. Also, the two threaded studs are joined to the backing piece. This is nearly jewelry type of work and effort. It's understandable that they stopped putting this much effort into the badge and started making them out of plastic... |

| This Mack truck hood ornament is solid metal and is quite heavy (about a pound?). On a heavy duty truck, a pound doesn't make much difference... |
 |
| Quite a unique design for a speed-handle... I'll have to try using it after cleaning it up... |
 |
| P&C is a sub-brand of Proto which used to be called Plomb... |
