    I'm coming to the end of my Hudson collection sell off
    and I came across this Club Logo someone may want.
    I'm not sure if it was a club fund raiser or an individual
    sold them. It is from the late 60's or early 70's.
    I seem to remember getting it at Doc's meet in Front Royal
    at his Sign shop meet.
    It is alluminum 9 1/2 X 6 1/2 "
    Price is $ 12.00 shipped
    Send a PM
    Thanks Roy

    Sorry , don't know how to turn the photo. Jon ?

    I've got one of those - mine was made, back in the 60's, by Ed Brown who was, at the time, an HET member from CT.

    Ed worked at Electric Boat and one of his job was making the dials for gages - the aluminum base is cut to shape and whatever required is somehow photo pasted in some way. I'm not sure of the process - but the results are outstanding.

    Alex that sounds right , now that you jarred my memory.
    It looks like yours is on a rectangle sheet and mine has been cut
    out.It has some rough edges that need a file.
    Amazing we saved these over 40 years.
    Thanks Roy

    I used to have mine fastened to the grille of what ever car (Brand X) I had at the moment!!! Did stand up well considering all those years were spent in New England with it's winters.:woohoo:
