Ahoy there dudes and dudettes

found a couple of badges on the weekend at a .....um......collectors thing. I dont know what youd call it really, they just had heaps of stuff, mainly old stuff but lots and lots of all different kinds stuff.
Anyhow any idea as to what theyre off??

Morris Minor - the one in the top photo is from a Minor 1000, but it's had the top broken off, the bottom one is from an MM

I know little about morris minors.

But the top one looks as though it may be for a bonnet ridge, with a well shaped v from it. Was there another part of the badge thats been broken off, or is it supposed to be round like a deluxe badge?

Kasperflipped did you buy those badges?

Nah i didnt buy them, but they are just down the road from my house, i can go buy them if anyone wants them and post them, they were all about $30ish.

I thought $30 for the deluxe/850 front badge was a bit steep

yeah, like I said, the top has broken off. The early ones were (48-53) round at the top, after that they had a thing that pointed up to to meet the other thing that sits at the front of the bonnet

like this - this is a series 2:



here's the round topped badge on an MM highlight



a little correction to myself, the boot lid badge is from an MM/Series 2, so went from 48-57, the bonnt badge was used from 53-62 ('71 in UK), so the two badges may have been from the same car - except that the front one is broken

Ahh ok Cool

Thanks Simon

Dad's headed up the freeway to Port Maquarie in one of his at Easter pulling a camper - looks the same as the MM, but no roof
