BULL DOG

Bull Dog Motor Truck Co. (1924-1925)

Minneapolis, Minnisota

This is a Bull Dog truck side panel emblem (1924-1925)     ms
Size: Unknown

The Bull Dog was a 30 hp four-cylinder conventional assembled truck with a capacity of 2-tons using solid rubber tires and double chain drive.

Very little is known about the Bull Dog truck. Bull Dog Motor Truck Company advertisements show a 2-ton truck and give the company address as Minneapolis, Minnesota but some truck references refer to Galena, Illinois. It is possible that the company headquarters was in Minnesota with manufacture taking place in Galena.

Emblem

The Bull Dog emblem shown above was identical to the company trade mark, see the trademark illustrated on the following Bull Dog Motor Truck stock certificate:

I have only seen a photo of the emblem, an original of which would be extremely rare. The cast emblem was attached to the side panels under the driver's seat, see the Bull Dog Motor Truck Company illustration shown below:

I have not found a photo or an illustration showing the front of the Bull Dog radiator, so I have no idea about the existence of a radiator emblem or script. If you have details of the front of the Bull Dog radiator, please let me know, in order to update this post.
