Hi Richard,
I have no knowledge or experience, but I would check with someone that has played around with paint glazing pottery. Could the same process be used?

This is a basic description, jewelry and artists
have used this medium for many yrs-- The glass powder is mixed in liqiud painted on then fired in a kiln. Thinking of trying it myself ??

This type of emblem, sometimes called cloisonné, has a metal base of copper, which is usually plated with chrome, nickel, or gold and is inlaid with enamel colors. By enamel, we mean the hard fired porcelain or glass (it is really a true glass and not porcelain). This kind of emblem was used on almost all cars until the 1940's. They continued to be used on some American cars, although very rarely. Foreign sports cars continue to use them routinely. They can be found on the radiator grille, headlight bars, hubcaps, trunk racks, spares, side mounts, and in the interior as well. They also appear in key fobs and many types of jewelry. Click on the picture here for a larger view of these various original cloisonné emblems.

Here is the tag on my Sterling. If you need a closer pic let me know. Charlie Ridal (spelling) had it redone somewhere. You might ask Scott N at the Mystic Seaport if he has his current address. You also might try Hemmings Motor News click here
From the Hemmings web page look under emblems

Greetings Richard, Ernie and Andrew,

Please keep me in mind on this. The name badge on my 1911 Sterling model R-135 six cylinder is in about the same shape. I need to find a pro for either repair or replacement.

Let me know what you find.

Cheers,

Lew

Hi Guys,

If I can figure out to add the pics, I will. This is a (as far as I can tell) a 1911 model R1-135 serial number 17.

It is a future project adn is only missint its original dual spark / dual ignition Berling distributor and the Schebler Carb.

Cheers,

Lew

Obviously I can not type today as well as having difficulty sizing these pics for the page. Hopefully they are working.

Cheers,

Lew

In the distance in this shot you can just make out the crankcase and one cylinder of a 1906 or 1907 model 14-18 4 cylinder 4 stroke Sterling. It is my next engine project and belongs to a launch built on Tahoe in 1907.
