Early CCM Badge Questions

Submitted by Brian R. on Fri, 09/16/2022 - 10:27

I'm putting together a c.1920 Gendron 855 CCM ladies bike.

The little metal badge insert is rusted. Does anyone know what colour these inserts were in the teens and '20s? Were they always the same colour or did they vary depending on model? year? frame paint colour?

What about the badges - were they nickel plated? See the photo - I'm wondering what it looked like originally.

I'm answering my own question, sorry, but after a really good cleaning, looks like brass & green.
