ALFA ROMEO ( 1910 - today ) When ALFA was founded in 1910, the directors of the company chose two well-known emblems of the Lombard capital as their trademark: The red cross of the Milan banner and the coat of arms of the Visconti family, a snake with a man in its mouth. These symbols that are different from each other in meaning but became one of the most famous badges in the automotive world. A design, except for small changes, to remain unchanged in all these years. Around 1915, the Ing. Nicola Romeo joined the company, but it was not until 1920 that the Emblem also bore his name. In February 2020, I was able to photograph this vehicle in Paris, which had an emblem with the initials of Nicola Romeo mounted on the radiator: A new appearing emblem on a special car. This vehicle was reconstructed in Argentinia. Nevertheless an exceptional and rare emblem. 1910 firewall emblem in the art - deco style All letters in brass. The two side knots are the symbols of the Savoy monarchy. Size 6.5 cm Year 1910- 1912 Estimate This strange looking emblem is bent; the diameter is 6.0 cm only. I have no idea where and when it was used. I guess it was a protype emblem because it was part of the Bregonzio collection liquidated in 2009 The original Alfa shield underwent its first modification in 1912, when the brass letters became thicker and white with a gold outline. Moreover, the two Savoy knots were strengthened and the snake was simplified. In 1915 Nicola Romeo takes over the company and three years later, at the end of the First World War, the word ALFA is replaced by the words "ALFA ROMEO". As far as I know, this is a prototype emblem, also from Bregonzio, which was not used on the vehicles at the time. It is noticeable that the word ALFA was written very large and the newly added name ROMEO very small. In fact, an emblem was then chosen where both names were written in the same capital. early ALFA ROMEO emblem ( before 1925 ) The emblem, therefore, remains unchanged until 1925. All emblems of the 1918 - 1925 period had a diameter of 6.5 cm. ALFA ROMEO vehicle with script on the radiator ( at the 1920 Milan Automobile Exposition ) no emblem, but what a surrealistic advertisement from René Magritte for ALFA ROMEO in 1924 1925 - 1930: After winning the first world championship in 1925, the emblems received a silver laurel wreath, so that the diameter of the entire emblem now amounted to 7.5 cm. 1924 ALFA - ROMEO advertisement 1926 french advertisement still showing the emblem with knots Have you ever seen an advertisement for automobiles where the emblem is shown rotated ? Neither have I to date. But that's exactly what happened in a 1929 advertisment: I have reproduced the error with an emblem to illustrate it. 1930 - 1945: The silvern laurel wreath was reduced and now the emblems had a diameter of 6.0 cm. Size 6.0 cm Year 1930 - 1945 Estimate A curiosity: in 1932 the unusual writing "ALFA - ROMEO PARIS" appeared on the cars destined for France. A very sought after emblem ! Size 6.0 incl laurel wreath Year 1932 Estimate incredible detailed snake on the ALFA ROMEO PARIS emblem Don´t forget: ALFA ROMEO also built trucks ( 1931 advertisement ) At the beginning of WWII ALFA ROMEO offered a truck ( type 800) with this particularly large emblem. flat reverse; no makers mark Size 9.2 cm Year 1940 - 1947 Estimate 1946 - 1950 With the fall of the monarchy, the two "Savoy" knots are eliminated and in their place are drawn two waves. From 1946 to 1950 some models had a badge with a new graphic look and embossed writings and figures on a ( often red colored ) background. We find this emblem also on the post war ALFA ROMEO truck, Tipo 900. large brass emblem Size 10.2 cm Year 1946 - 1950 Estimate unrestored ALFA ROMEO with brass emblem 1949 advertisement showing the brass emblem with red background 1950 - 1960 Since 1950 the emblem was enameled again in its original colors and the laurel wreath has been thinned, as you can see here: Size 5.5 cm Year 1950 - 1960 Estimate 1960 - 1971 Since 1960 the emblem is made of plastic, the wreath is chromed: When collecting ALFA ROMEO emblems you often find unusual emblems.
