Guy Motors - original 1960s? ' feathers in our cap' brooch

An original Guy Motors brooch which we would think will have been produced in the 1960s.

When this brooch has been sold this listing will be cancelled .

The brooch is in very good condition with vitreous enamelling although there are a couple of  small sections of enamel missing from the feathers in the centre of the head-dress .

This can be plainly seen in the enlarged high resolution listing photos .

A tiny brooch measuring about 15mm ( 0.6″) in width .

The brooch can be attached to clothing by means of the pin & keep on the back of the brooch – all working as they should .

Made in the days when drivers of these vehicles generally wore a sports jacket where a badge like this could be worn.

This was a badge of honour and enabled kindred drivers to recognise one another when stopped at 1950s & 1960s roadside cafes which were before the modern truckstop.

This subtle little badge was all that was needed in those days – soon to be replaced by tee-shirts with garish logos stretched across the wearer’s chest.

The ‘feathers in our cap’ Indian Chief with full head-dress was proudly in place on the radiator on Guy trucks .

The lapel badge in the photos is the actual one which you will receive.
