"Southern Automobile Owners Association" Badge

Hello All. I found this a few nights ago deep in a small town curb strip.

Cannot see anything like it on the internet. It's brass, about 4-IN across and the thickness of a match book cover, with nothing on the back. Other on-site items date back to the 1900's so I am guessing it is of the same vintage??

Thanks the view and any info. Good Luck out there. C9

Hello nhbenz. Yep saw this one too...same shape, a bit smaller, and slightly different name engraving...maybe a later or earlier version.

Thanks for the reply and info. Good Luck to you out there. C9

was a popular thing for car clubs to make up these emblems that would attach to the grille of a car. Great find !
