Two French metal and enamel grille badges, one bearing the Donnet name and the other Hotchkiss Paris, in very good condition.
Description from the seller
Two classic French car emblems from the early 20th century (before World War II).
On the left a Donnet grille emblem (circa 1928–1933) and on the right a Hotchkiss Paris grille emblem.
The Donnet emblem comes from the French car manufacturer Automobiles Donnet (founded by Jérôme Donnet). This specific octagonal design bearing the full brand name 'DONNET' was used between 1928 and 1933.
The Hotchkiss Paris emblem with the crossed cannons is from "Hotchkiss et Cie", an originally French-American manufacturer of weapons and luxury cars based in Saint-Denis near Paris, from the 1930s (roughly between 1932 and 1939).
Both emblems are in unused condition (NOS - New Old Stock).
Dimensions: Donnet 4.5 x 4.5 cm - Hotchkiss Ø 3.7 cm.
