Interesting Autojumble Find

Post by GSM »

My dad picked up this interesting AJS / Matchless plaque recently at an autojumble. It cast iron and painted, approximately 9 1/2" in diameter. Can anyone shed any light on it? Have the club had some made in the past?

It looks like a scaled up version of the machine badge minus text. Could have been made by some one for their shed ??? Unless some one reads up all the old Jampot magazines for any mention of it. If they find nothing about such items being made, it remains a mystery. Did you ask the jumbler how he came by it. It may give a clue as to which part of the country it originated from. Maybe some of our very senior long standing members recall it.
