It's a horse saddle sheild, probably the owners initial.

I'm seeing results for both IDs above.

That's a script J is it not? Like this...

Sorry .. Not a saddle badge. It is indeed a radiator cap emblem.

I agree creskol. I've seen various sizes but all the same - radiator cap emblem.

Thank you all for the IDs!!

Creskol, how many times would you estimate that piece has been posted on TNet?

Could this emblem be from a Model T? Or is it more likely an upscale car?

I don't know how many times they have been posted .. at least a half a dozen times or so.. As for the Model T .. These were aftermarket items for the most part.

Can you guys provide any links or images to back up the claim of it being a radiator emblem?

Just saw this , I wanna guess before I see the "Solved" answer .

It's a plate off of a Bicycle , the letters could be individualized ?

From what I've learned these were often mistaken for Civil War relics & just in the past 20 or so years has their true use been accepted .

I still have never found 1 ; FWIW , chat soon yak.

I have seen similar Bicycle Plates or Emblem 's

Can you guys provide any links or images to back up the claim of it being a radiator emblem?

Either way it's still an Old & Cool find .

I need to recheck some of my old 'Digger' Magazines.
