I have one that is identical to the unit pictured. Steel shell with the same BowTie insert. Purchased it at the National meet in Springfield.

I have several steel 1928 rad surrounds with the standard backing plate. I presumed they came on the 1/2 ton pickups down here (NZ). With regard to the initial query re bakerlite caps, Austins of the 1920s used a very similar cap. I purchased one some years ago that fits my 25 chev rad. Austin folk may be able to clarify this what model / year.

I've seen a few of those steel surrounds with the corrugated badge backing and a 27 bow tie and have half a dozen different steel surrounds. They were an aftermarket replacement for the aluminium ones when they cracked up. One I had was made by by a Sydney (aus) firm called Brabo and was available in 1929. We had pretty bad roads down here in those days and I guess the vibrations cracked the aluminium

Ray, I took mine off of mine so I could rework all the dents and rust. Were you wanting to see the backside of it?

I really should have been much more specific. I was curious about the back side of the emblem. I had never seen one of those before and wanted to see if it was stud mounted or a press fit. Thanks for the picture anyway. Sorry to put you to the trouble.

Thanks for the offer, but it is not that important.

Ray, Mine is off send picture tomorrow. It was press fit in. A round stud on the back about the size of a nickle. Fit right in tight with a small amount of solder.
