Hello, I found this inside a 1920s rolls Royce I am wondering what it is and if it worth anything, can anyone please help?

Thank you.

It's the emblem off of a cheap aftermarket key fob, sorry but it's worth absolutely nothing.

 

[Joey1930]

Thank you for your response, but I found it directly over a 1925 rolls Royce covering a key way

 

[Jim Walters]

Oh, so you took it off of a key lock, that makes sense with the size of the tab and hole in it. Still, considering the condition I don't think it's worth anything at all. Just because it says Rolls-Royce on it doesn't mean it's worth something. So is it sitting on a phone, iPad, or? Some reference for size would be helpful but if it is a key lock cover it would be about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Is that plastic on it that is all cracked? I kinda think someone glued an old aftermarket key fob emblem onto the cover which I have seen before but not with any emblem on them. Rolls-Royce tended to downplay sticking their name all over the place on their cars, especially in those early days.

I will get back to you with pictures of the car and the size, thank you for your time and reps once.

also the thing has a metal back and it feels like leather but it is clear.

 

[Jim Walters]

Surely it's some kind of plastic that is deteriorating. Is it the same size as shown in this image?

I can assure you it is not anything special.

 

[Joey1930]

Yes that is it, I like it more as souvenir and I’m glad I found out what it is, thank you for ur dedicated replys.

 

[Jim Walters]

What's the story with the car? Looks like quite the project!

 

[Joey1930]

was sitting for a long time, bought in Manhattan in 1920s, when it was given to us we got it running but it has been sitting for around 5 years. It is now sleeping inside a garage on how it should be for its lifetime.

 

[Joey1930]

I can’t say the condition is great, but the best thing for it is it should be laid to rest.

 

[Joey1930]

But the most surprising thing is the tires are in like new condition

 

[Joey1930]

I can also trace it back to a stock broker in the 20s who originally bought it

 

[Joey1930]

also found some pictures

This car was made sometime after the company switched to the black badge radiator emblem in 1934.

The best thing for it is to give it to someone who will restore it.

Best thing for it is to sleep in a garage for the rest of it's life ???

You're not one of those dog-in-the-manger types that would see it rot and destroyed rather then have someone restore it are you ?

 

[Jim Walters]

If you can read the VIN off the plate that should be on the firewall I can look up the year and model for you. It will probably be two or three letters with one, two or three numbers after it.

I understand but the thing is rusted inside and out, it wouldn’t even be original when your done with it.
