Durant Auto Emblem...........

[Hawkeye Jim]

Got in a short hunt yesterday before all the ghosts and goblins showed up........five wheaties and an Injun Cent (all were just like TOAST from this site)......but the best find was the Durant Auto Emblem, I gathered some info off the net:

Durant 1929 Model 60
The Durant was a make of automobile assembled by Durant Motors Corporation of New York City, New York from 1921 to 1926 and again from 1928 to 1932. Durant Motors was founded by William Crapo Durant (also known as Billy Durant) after he was terminated as the head of General Motors. Billy Durant's intent was to build an automotive empire that could one day challenge General Motors.
