I dare not remove the emblem, as 2 pins appear to be broken, but you can see it is hollow backed and very finely crafted...

Good question, as we often refer to the emblems of the era as Jeweler made. This one is nearly identical to many others that have appeared here. Begs the question did Horstmann have a Jeweler on staff for such items or did they sub-out this type of work?Now that is impressive! Great condition. Would Horstman provide the ega or was it typically purchased seperate?
In any case a wonderful example and thx for the post Brig.

Believe that EGA to be made by Breuniger, all hand done, which leads all of these early pieces to be one of a kind, and nearly impossible to match. I bought a similar set from Bob (Forum Support) that I think the funds went to buy him a new car!
S/F,

I did find remnants of the lid having been named at one point. A few letters, maybe enough to match. Anyone have an officer register pre-Span-Am?
List what you know & I'll have a look. Bob
