Guilder Engineering Co. (1924-1936)
Poughkeepsie, New York 


This is a Guilder radiator emblem (1924-1936)   mjs
Size: 75mm diameter    MM: Unknown

The Guilder was a development of the Goodwin Truck but became a separate make in 1924 with truck and bus chassis in a range of sizes. By 1927, Guilder truck sizes ranged from 1-1/4-ton to 7-ton capacity and by the 1930's 8-10-ton and 12-16-ton six-wheeler trucks, and bus chassis for 21-, 25- and 30-passengers were also offered. 

Guilder truck production was never high and, after the Great Depression, production declined rapidly from 1930 to 1936 when production ceased.

Emblem

The Guilder truck carried a blue and white enamel radiator emblem, see example shown above. This Guilder truck radiator emblem is very rare.
