Tank badges

We have recently discovered that the original enamel tank badge fitted in 1934-36 had blue shading to the letters with a black background and not black shading with a black background as we had always thought. Badges were known to exist with blue shading and black background and we have been listing them for some years without knowing their application. The shading was altered to black in 1937 but the part number was not changed, no doubt because there was no need to make both colours, the blue ones were superseded to the later ones. I now suspect that the badges with red shading and black background, the application of which is still unconfirmed, were used 1935-36 and that the alteration to red shading and red background took place in 1937 at the same time as the badges with blue shading changed to black. Because it would cause more trouble than it is worth we are leaving the part numbers as they have been for the last 34 years, after all we have been making these badges for longer than Ariel did‼‼! Exciting isn’t it?

Do not over tighten the badge screws on plastic badges, there should be a gap between badge and tank, a spot of gasket goo, thread sealant or similar will stop them falling out.
