What is the coolest headbadge you own?

[rustyjones]

Have you ever seen one on an a actual bike? I’ve seen a few over the years but never on a bicycle. They are always in excellent shape like they have never been used. There is one in the Pontiac Oakland Museum in Pontiac Illinois. The Curator would love to find a bike or at least get a picture.

Can't say that I have

I don't "collect" head badges in general, but I have collected a few for different reasons. Mostly because they strike me as unusual or cool in some way. I almost have enough to make a shadow box to fill for the wall.

A Schwinn "ALL AMERICAN" head badge, a badge without a bike.
And
The Galloway is from an early Iowa Farm Implement maker that had Davis badge a few bikes for sale. I rub it every now and then in hopes of bringing one out of the woodwork to me.

Love these ornate Shelby badges, especially with Patina.
I think I'm having seller's remorse over the fender badge version I just sold. Lol

Not a headbadge but still a cool bicycle badge. Cycling West was a late 1900-into the 20th century bicycle trade publication.

Perhaps the largest head badge of all?
