Philo E. Remington had tried to build a Remington motor car in Charleston, West Virginia but this venture had failed in 1913. He decided to try again and established the Remington Motor Company in 1914.

The new Remington in 1914 was a sophisticated, four-cylinder 12 hp cyclecar offered as a two-seater roadster. In 1915, a four-cylinder 25 hp Narragansett touring model and a V-8 touring model called the Greyhound were also offered but, in 1916, a slightly larger, five-passenger Narragansett touring car was the only Remington model made. 

Remington production suffered from material shortages because of the First World War and it was all over in 1916. 

Emblem

The following original photo of a Remington cyclecar carries a 1914 dealer's plate. The photo is not very clear but appears to show a small script mounted near the top of the radiator. The coloration of the top of the radiator shell is too dark to confirm if there is a radiator emblem.

The later Remington models from 1915 are believed to have carried a round radiator emblem, see poor quality original photo shown below:

The Remington Motor Company logo or trademark is seen in Remington motor car advertisements from 1914 and on the Remington Motor Company letterhead, see examples below:

This is a Remington advertisement showing the radiator emblem (1915)  

A red painted brass emblem impressed with the Remington logo is known to exist and may have been used as the Remington motor car radiator emblem but I cannot confirm this.

This is the red painted Remington emblem shown above at the top of this post and again below. I cannot confirm that this Remington emblem is original but, if so, it would be extremely rare.
