Hello, A friend came into possession of these to large bronze / brass cadillac and LaSalle eighteen point logo wall or floor medallions.

Were thinking they were created between 1920s-1930s?

I have searched all over and can't find anything about them?

There are no identification markings anywhere, no signatures, nothing?

I've look through old Cadillac & Lasalle photos, hopping to to spot them and nothing.

Dealership lobby, Book-Caddillac hotel, corporate plaque?

Measurements are 24 x 24 and each one weights between 50-60 lbs.

Thank you for time.0-1.jpeg0-2.jpeg0.jpeg

They are amazing! They couldn't be from the hotel, since the LaSalle emblem would not be as old as the hotel and they wouldn't have used that emblem there. Some time between 1927 and 1940, which was the life span of LaSalle. They must have been some kind of dealership item or possibly a test casting from a mold for a dealership item. What a great find!
