Just to update here....if you look at the Ebay ad url....it now says "1953, 1950's, 40's " in the ad headline. Originally, the ad only said for 1953...so I sent the seller an email expressing that I did not believe they were for a 1953. He changed the ad headline to what you see there now....and he sent me a return email stating that he had done so.
The seller would also like to know what and where the part is used on a Pontiac.
I am leaning more toward a center grille emblem...but really do not know either. _________________ "A General Motors Masterpiece" |

Those look too "something" (as my wife would say). Actually, I think they look too stylized to be "real". The Indian looks more like a Trojan warrior than an Indian.
What this fellow needs to do is supply the information on the back side (usually cast in). If it is original GM, it will have a GM part number there. These look like reproductions of something probably in the '49-'52 range.
I will bounce a message to our '49-'52 Tech Advisor... he's pretty darn smart!
BTW I downloaded and reposted the image. For some reason it wasn't showing. If that ever happpens, one can still double click on the title and it will show up. |

The parts book says that 51-53 rear quarter emblem has the same part number, gp 12.116, pn 514450 RH, and 514451 LH. The 54 rear quarter emblem is a different part number, 517534, uses the same one on each side. I got rid of my 54 some time ago, but I do recall it did look more stylized than the ones on my 51. Possibly it is a 54 part. |
