TR2/3/3A "WANTED": TR3 Small Mouth Front Apron Medallian

[toysrrus]

Hi Folks,

its been awhile since i've been here due to open heart surgery!! All is as well as can be expected.

i just posted on the Panjo Classfieds a "WANTED" ad for a "TR3 SMALL MOUTH FRONT APRON MEDALLIAN" in good to exc. cond.

Panjo asked questions that would pertain more to selling vs buying; That is why I'm posting here.

Thanx in advance for your replies.

Regards, Russ

Hey, Russ, congrats on surviving the surgery!

FWIW, the new medallion I got from TRF a year or two ago looks really good. The old one got dented in the wreck and part of the enamel flaked off, so I don't think you want it.

Yes, best wishes on your continued recovery.
I agree with Randall on the quality of he TRF (and other) badges. However, I'm sure there are some decent originals out there and for a bit less than $150. I've got a bunch of blue ones but none of the red.

Russ,
I have one of the red and black ones; however, some of the enamel has flaked off in the "R". If you're interested I can post a picture for you to see it.

Thanx to all for the nice comments & welcome back.

Bob, I really would like to see a pic. Will you be posting it here or PM or Email?

Thanx Very Much,

Russ

PS: I don't see my "Wanted" ad anywhere except here in the Forum section!?!?

Russ,

I PM'd you but not sure I correctly attached the pics so I'm putting them here. Know I can do that.

Hi Bob,

i could'nt open the PM attachment but this is just fine. No need to re-send to my email. I'll show these to my friend (They look pretty good to me) but the "Small Mouth" apron I feel has the "Triumph" script written in the bottom of the medallion. I'll double check that & get back to you. The $50.00 sounds pretty good also.

Thanx, Russ

but the "Small Mouth" apron I feel has the "Triumph" script written in the bottom of the medallion.

That's right, since the small mouth apron doesn't have the separate 'TRIUMPH' letters like the later apron does. There is a decent illustration on TRF's web site

Thanx Randall; just as I thought.

"Bobby O"; My friend is considering your badge but if anyone has a "Red / Black" with the "TRIUMPH" script in the bottom of the badge; Please let me know.

Thanx Again,

Russ

Hi Booby O,

i'm just waiting for my friend to decide on buying your badge. I just wanted you to know. Do you still have it?

Thanx, Russ

 

[toysrrus]

Hello BobbyO,

i heard from from my friend & he found the badge he had missing. Thanx for making yours avail. Perhaps someone else needs one like yours.

Regards, Russ

Russ,

I have a better deal for you but the price will be slightly higher. Sorry but its in better condition than the first one. Pic attached. I'm in the middle of doing my own restoration on a '61 and found this in one of my parts container. I'll PM you the price if still interested.

Russ,

Didn't realize this post went over to a second page. Glad you were able to find what you wanted and you know where a second one is if necessary.

A very nice one just listed on Ebay. Starting bid is $5.00, no reserve. If I didn't already have one I would buy it.

"Thanx All".
