Question about my NAG car mascot

Letters to the editor

Dear Editor,

I have a collection of 180 car mascots. I would like to know some more about this NAG mascot. Can you or any of the readers show me a picture of the mascot fitted on a car? I can't find it. From what year is it? Is there more information about the NAG brand?
 
Kind regards,
Piet Geirnaert

Hi everybody,
On this picture you'll see (a part of) my mascot collection including the NAG, of which I now know it belonged to a bus or truck.
Kind regards,
Piet

Don't forget NAG also made buses. The emblem on this one looks similar.

Gérard: That sounds interesting! I am looking forward to the photos if you can still find them!

Dominique: It's not that simplistic at all, it's well constructed from two types of material (bronze and brass). Inside the cap you can see the traces of the hot water that came from the radiator.

Hello Piet,

The simplistic cutting of the metal, reminds me of an exercise in an apprentice school !

I've studied hundreds of photos showing NAG cars over the years and I've never come across such a radiator mascot. However, NAGs from the 1920s often had a temperature gauge on the radiator featuring the NAG logo (see attachment). It's a possibility that your mascot was a one-off piece ordered by an enthusiastic owner.
