Hey Brian, you missed one (or let me snag it!) 18th FA, 3rd Div.

 

 

[world war I nerd]

Yep. I sure missed that one Austin. It's a great image. I'm glad that it found the right home.

 

I have a few new photos to add to this thread. I'll try and get that done in the next day or two.

Hey Folks, Here’s a couple of WW1 A.E.F. related items which I believe to be Vehicle Insignia of some sort. Probably for affixing to a Vehicle’s bumper, & or or some other portion of it ? They’re both from the U.S. 26th Yankee Division.

Those are so cool do you have pictures of the backs? 

[dpast32]

Hello My Friend, The Reverse side of these is just an unpainted surface, exactly similar to the Front yet in Reverse. However, I will be happy to photograph them for you in a little while, as my A/C Serviceman is here right now. Stay tuned. I will also measure them for you so you’ll have an idea as to their relative size. I also received an update on these yesterday afternoon advising me that these items were Post WW1 era Vehicle Insignia for purchase by 26th Yankee Division Veterans ? It may or may not be true, hopefully someone here will chime in with their opinion ?

   
         Best,  Dom P.

Thanks for posting the backs.

 

They screw onto something.

Absolutely, They're no doubt meant to be affixed, screwed onto either a Vehicle's Bumper, & or some other portion of a Vehicle ? I was always under the impression that they were of WW1 vintage & use. I was recently told however via 2 different individuals that they were of relatively early Post WW1 manufacture, & therefore use. To me, it does sound plausible that some proud WW1 Yankee Division Veterans would choose to affix one of these Ornaments on their personal, Civilian Vehicles ? So far, I personally have only come across the 2 examples I Posted here, yet just recently I became aware of a similar one, produced for; "E / 102".  Now, to find one for 'my' WW1 Unit, the 103rd Field Artillery, then I'll be happy !!
