Riding a '37 Colson Imperial
I've come across something recently that has peaked my interest regarding the usage of "bottle cap" badge attachment versus conventional screws. I knew that Dayton and Davis used it, but seems Miami did as well? Are there any other manufacturers known to? I won't pick up this item for a week or so, so I'm going to hold off posting pics until it is in my possession. Thanks in advance for any info. Mike.
 
When you say "Dayton" I assume you are referring to the Huffman brand. Davis also built a Dayton model. So the three manufacturers, off the top of my head, would be Davis, Miami, and Huffman which would include badges of Dayton (both Davis and Huffman), Harley Davidson, Racycle, Flying Merkel, and other Miami built machines. I'm sure Ed or Patric could expand on this. V/r Shawn

I've got a nice Excelsior made bottle cap Elgin. I'll get a pic if anyone is interested.
 
Also Yale. I have a few other bottle cap badges that were store bands. But I belive were used on Davis built bikes as well.
