FS: Orange Bar Hood Badge - restored

For Sale, a 1972 Orange Bar hood badge, restored by Karla Maxwell (https://maxwellenamels.com)

$975 incl shipping via USPS domestically

I was going to use it for my 1972 car but its just too nice, and I'd prefer it go to someone who needs one for a car they want to show.
I prefer my patina'd badge, and will keep that one, so offering this restored one for sale.


I sent it to Karla in Oct '22 and she returned it to me in May '23. Save yourself the wait with one already done, from a MY'72.

Thanks

Karl.

And this is the badge, pre-restoration by Karla

Beautiful work, but appears as a new badge from 2022 not 1972. Seems to be ‘over restored’ in my opinion. Needs a bit more orange vs. the red.

GLWS and thanks for the link.

Tony, it is perhaps my photographic skills, and it can be a little difficult to photograph accurately. In person, IMHO, it is a very nice orange. I took some more pics, and I did not enhance them in any way, with my iPhone.
Here (pic taken beside window with natural light on a dull northeast day), left to right, is a modern badge which is definitely red, & not orange. In the middle is a patina'd early badge, with dull orange. Someone may have touched it up at some point. At right is the 1972 orange badge I have for sale, which has been restored by Karla. I think you can see more of the orange colour here, particularly beside the modern red badge.

The last 2 pics really show the orange. Very nice! GLWS

I took some pics of the badge, beside the patina’d one on my 72.
