Alfa Romeo Badge Without Milano

Entry/Object ID

2024.14.164

Description

This grille badge differs from the others in the box in that it lacks the city of Milano name. Articles discussing the evolution of the Alfa logo do not mention this badge with the missing MILANO. The knots were removed in 1946, so we can conclude that this badge was made before that date.
