I recently acquired this Canadian Twin Coach front emblem to add to my collection. This type emblem were used exclusively on all post-war Twin Coaches. While most all emblems carry the KENT, OHIO locale, I never knew that those produced in Fort Erie, Ontario carried the "CANADA" locale.

What I find interesting is the KENT, OHIO origin (as seen from the back). I would assume that the manufacturer had the dies filled in and restamped with the CANADA designation.

Post war Twin Coaches were also produced in Buffalo, NY according to the Ohio Bus History website. Anyone know if the badges on these reflect this?

frankie,

For the discerning Twin Coach memorabilia collector, this fine 'one jewel' wrist watch is available on eBay as we speak.

Enjoy,

Mr. 'L'
