| This is an S & M hub emblem (1913) mjs Size: 69mm diameter |
The S & M Motor Company was set up in Detroit by Edward Stroebel and Walter Martin from New York.
The S & M was a big 48 hp six-cylinder assembled motor car built using standard components, including wire wheels. The S & M was announced as a car for the New York market in September 1912 but production did not start until late in 1913 and by January 1914 the company was bankrupt. Total production of the S & M was only 40 cars.
The S & M advertisement includes an oval shaped S & M logo, which is likely to represent the radiator emblem, although I cannot confirm this, see below:
The S & M had wire wheels, which displayed an S & M hub emblem, see example shown above at the top of this post. This S & M hub emblem is extremely rare.
