AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the two Austin “Flying‑A” logos
1. Large emblem (left)
• It features the classic A with extended wings, a highly characteristic aerodynamic design of Austin in the mid-20th century.
• It is made of chrome-plated metal, with a shiny finish.
• It is mounted on a black cylindrical base, probably added for display.
• Its size and presence make it more imposing, with lines that convey movement and speed.
2. Small emblem (right)
• It keeps the same iconography of the winged A, but in a more compact format.
• It is also bright chrome, with slightly softer shaping.
• It is placed on a transparent rectangular base, designed for display or collection.
• Its design is more discreet, although it preserves the elegance of the original style.
Origin and Context
• Both belong to the Austin Motor Company, a British manufacturer.
• They were used as hood mascots on the brand's models, especially between the 1940s and 1950s.
• The “Flying‑A” design symbolized speed, modernity, and style, values that Austin wanted to project in his vehicles.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
