Sunday, July 21, 2024 -- Long Beach Antique Swap -- Part 27 - Great Dane trailer badge

Trailer maker.
Based out of Savannah, Georgia.
Company goes back to 1900.
This version of their logo appears to have been used in and around the 1990s.

The badge is made to a very high standard out of cast metal.
It was chrome plated first then portions painted after (similar to how old steel bicycle frames were done to have shiny chrome portions of the frame).







In the 1930s, Great Dane made the tanker bodies for fuel trucks like this one.
