| This is a Curtis radiator emblem (1920-1921) mjs Size: 45mm high 45mm wide MM: Unknown |
The Curtis Motor Car Company was established in 1919 and began to assemble the Curtis motor car in temporary premises in Little Rock, Arkansas in early 1920, while still selling stock to enable the building of a permanent factory.
The Curtis was an assembled car offered in two models using four-cylinder Herschell-Spillman or six-cylinder Continental engines but no further details are available.
This is the red, white and blue enamel Curtis radiator emblem shown above at the top of this post. This Curtis radiator emblem is extremely rare.
It is estimated that only 46 or 53 units were built, possibly by another company, before the Curtis Motor Car Company went into receivership in April 1921.
