    Value of this badge

    I have this badge in the engine grill of my 67. Is it valuable?

    Not really... enamel on chrome, sold by many accessory companies circa 1960-70s. The sprocket edge was popular for awhile.

    Still see those quite frequently at swap meets. Not very valuable as Russ stated, since not made by Porsche. $20-$40 maybe if you can find a buyer.

    I paid $12.00 US for the same badge and stuck it in a drawer. Painted, not enamel, not very well made, and not very attractive. Proportions of the Porsche logo are terrible.

    A seller can ask any price he wants, getting that price is another matter entirely. I wish him all the best selling them because it would make my POS worth more.

    Ditto. You can tell from that seller's ad copy he REALLY wants to sell those. "Ultimate show car accessory"?!?

    That is why I posted the question. I thought the value would be less than $100. I saw those adds and started to think I should be careful with the badge :-) Actually, I like it and goes well with my sand beige car.
