Emblems

These are the Mercury plastic oval emblems used from 1957 to 1962 (approx).  They were "decorated" in four color combinations.

The emblems were a very difficult part to reproduce, based on the painting and vacuum metalizing of the small lettering in the injection molded piece.  With help from a few individuals who actually worked on this part in 1955; the Mercury Marine legal department; and the many collectors who helped finance this project through pre-production sales, the job was accomplished!  Thanks to all!

How they were used...

Mercury traditionally was very "creative" in how they used components on engines, especially during model year changes.  The following are the most common applications of the emblems:

1957
A black background emblem was mounted on engines painted Sunset Orange, Bimini Green (Merchromic green metallic) & Sarasota Blue

1957-1958
A silver background with chrome and blue lettering would have been used on the blue two tone painted engines such as Sarasota Blue/Sand Tan and the Marlin Blue/Gulf Blue combinations.  This emblem was also found on many Sunset Orange engines.

1958-1962+
The silver background w/light gold & red lettering was mounted on all colors during these years.  Of course there was always exceptions.  This combination was mostly used on control boxes for the Cloud White motors.

All emblems are $50 + shipping
