Anybody help ID this medallion? It was on one of my Jeep utility wagons; passenger side quarter panel just above the lower horizontal section of the fender.
Never seen another one, before or since.

Cowl badge off a Jeepster.

They reproduce them as keychains also.....brass.

Edit... April to November 1950 1/2 production Wagons, Jeepster and Trucks. Medallion and Hood Ornament discontinued later that year. (per Willys America)

Where can I find a keychain fob like that?  I think I'd put it on Ol' Unreliable, just for the heck of it.
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Ask and ye shall receive.
Here's one but the seller seems awfully proud of it.
I'm not sure as to originality 'cause the one I have is flat except for the raised lettering. The one listed seems to have a domed shape.

haha, old post but WTH. This brass badge was on the first v-nose Willys Jeepsters, Utilities and trucks only in the second half of 1950. They never returned in 1951. Very rare, I use to find them once in awhile in remote N.W. wrecking yards up to the early 90's when most of the old yards went out of business and crushed all the old stuff.  At one time I had 8 of these, auctioned on ebay 3 or 4 and always sold for approx. $125-150. Still have two, with one now on the dash of my 2019 Wrangler 2dr. Rubicon.
