I just thought that I would share this 1930s St. Christopher medal. It covers a Train, a Boat, an Airplane, a Motorcycle and a Midget Racer. I think that it is pretty cool. I keep it pinned to my '35's header. I can appreciate the detail.

I think that this pin was meant to be stuck into the upholstery of an automobile. It has two verticle pins, sticking down, about the whole highth of the medal. It could be worn as a brouch, but you just might get stuck.

Mike, I have one that belonged to my Grandmother, she had it pinned to the sun visor in her '56 Olds Holliday 88 Two Door Hardtop. It was similar to yours but the car looked like a combo between the "Y" job front end and a '53 Caddy rear end.

I was/am thinking that St. Christopher has pretty much been de-frocked hasn't he? Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Neat.

I found this at an antique shop about 10 yrs ago. It's the size of a credit card and folds out.

The Sacred Heart Auto League, just had to get it.

I've run one for years. Here is a picture of it in my old '32 roadster. I like the SW wing look too. My new '32 5w will get one just like this as well.

I have been told that St. Christopher will jump out the window at about 60 miles per hour because he thinks it is unsafe?
 
Mom gave me one when I left for so cal hotrod scene in 57. When they defrocked him I lost it somewhere. Thanks MOM
