Nice finds.
The red shield badge looks like it represents either a pump or gear box, to my eyes.
It has the "product promotion" look to it.
Cheers, Mike

Need a better picture...
Is it a bird's-eye-view of a cannon? If so, maybe a variation (or local club ripoff) of the Arsenal UK football team logo.
Just my guess...

That makes 3 of us. It is an overhead view of a canon. I live in Richmond Virginia, and we are full of Civil War history, and I know a canon when I see one. The question is, What is the pin for? What does the pin mean?

There is some info on dating this based on how the name appears on the back in a forum post on eBay here:
