Reply With QuoteCould it be off a Toyota Crown? I think it was Toyota’s luxury car in the 70s/80s before Lexus existed, Cresida also rings a bell with me and I wonder if that may have been the JDM name? Just my gut feeling and happy to stand corrected.
An old car badge I have had for years, any idea what its off ?
I don't know why but Cresta was at the back of my mind ?

It doesn't look like any Toyota Crown logos I've found (Was my second thought after Vanden Plas, but that is simpler with just 3 points).Originally Posted by yumma

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I started to think it looked much like some old american fridge emblems (looks like it could be from a fridge - as much as from a car).
Not found anything that matches, however.
Might be some other appliances from '50s/'60s though?
My thought, too, was that the badge wasn't from a car. Google Lens doesn't seem to help, either. Odd.
Obviously I don't know but I do think it came from a car many years ago.
I wonder if it was a car club badge rather than a marque?
Definitely looks more appliance than car emblem to me too. I think the two snowflakes give it away.
Could be an old Frigidaire or similar?

Rolex Fridgidaire
Frigidaire did use a crown, but appears to be a 5-wotsit crown rather than 6.
I think you'll find that appliance manufacturers could be a bit cavalier with their crowns.

To be honest my first thought was Rootes group.
I think that it may be the crown used at the coronation of the King of the Slow Worms.
