That isn't even a good repro! It is a copy of a tarnished barn find emblem. The originals have a gold flash on them. Here is a picture of one. The center one is NOS, The left side used, and the right side one I painted on and it has been bolted on the front of my toolbox for the last 30 years!

What the ? Where did the reference to Johnny Carson come from? Did he used to quote Funk and Wagnal's or something?

Thanks jdpan.Those are some awesome pieces you have there Rubone... !
I have always liked and collected trim and accessories. I have even built bikes around trim!
The NOS emblem was a dealer take-off that was found in a drawer. It will eventually go on my '54FLE if I ever quit getting distracted by other projects. In the meantime it will live in the case with the other stuff!

Re: Harley 1954 50th anniversary fender emblem nos
Yes, I have those pictures. the old thread pics were likely on a hosting site that is no longer used. Now I am able to post them directly..
These are all original H-D. The middle one is NOS and shows the factory finish. The left one a used one with normal age patina, the right one I painted at some point in the early '70s and it was bolted on my toolbox.
