Can any of you chaps help identify a chrome or nickel Jaguar badge I
have had kicking around in my garage for many years. Looks like it
might have been enamelled at one time. Photographs of it at

Robert,
That is a hub cap badge off of a 60's small saloon -- probably an
S-Type or a 420. It fits in the center of the hub caps that were made for
the steel wheels. I know they came with the caps on my S-Type. Whether
they are the original caps or not is questionable.

I had a sterling key chain fob, same exact shape and style, that came with
my XK120 FHC. Sold the car a long time ago, but still have the keychain.
Maybe that will help you with the vintage aspect of your badge.

It is a badge from an early Jaguar pressed steel wheel hub cap. These were
used on Mark 1's, Mark 2's, 420's, S-types, Mark V, VII, VIII, IX and X's
and probably others (like the XK's). The size might have varied from model
to model - the hub cap size did a few times.
