Nevada State Automobile Association Goldfield Brass Radiator Badge

[Jay In Northern Ca.]

A mining memorabilia collector has this in their collection. I think this would be a great badge to have reproduced.

Jay,

Oddly enough, I know a guy that owns a large part of Goldfield, Nev. Also, he's an antique car guy.
Would you mind if I copied your photo and sent it to him?

As a side note, actor Ben Alexander who played Frank Smith in the 1950s version of Dragnet, was born in Goldfield, Nevada.

Ben Alexander was a Ford Dealer in the los Angles area. He was a model A collector. He restored a model a pickup with all nos parts. He advertised for nos parts for a number of years to complete his restoration.
just sayin,

My father collects early Minnesota AAA badges.

Here's one for Owatonna, MN (coincidentally, that's where Shari and Mark Cameron live).

Although the design is similar to the Nevada badge, the casting is quite different as it is flat on the back. I can't remember if it has a maker's mark on it.

My father also has an early Minnesota AAA felt penant that has the same interlocking spoked wheel design.

Wow, thanks for sharing the picture. I have never seen it before.

Very cool!

Definitely a great find. Is there any way to date them?
