George W. Hamblet built himself a fine motor car in around 1909, including an air-cooled engine, with bodywork provided by the Amesbury Metal Body Company. The car did not go into production.
In 1912, the engine was replaced with a 40 hp six-cylinder Palmer & Singer T-head engine with a Stevens-Duryea radiator. The Hamblet remains extant.
Emblem
The current painted brass Hamblet radiator emblem shown above at the top of this post and again later below may have been mounted on the original c1909 radiator but I cannot confirm this.
The Hamblet motor car with the 1912 Stevens-Duryea radiator and Hamblet radiator emblem is shown below:
