DESCRIPTION
ORIGINAL VINTAGE CHRIS-CRAFT BOAT PROPELLER EMBLEM PAIR
Outstanding pair of old Chris-Craft marine emblems featuring one of the company's most distinctive vintage nautical designs.
Each emblem incorporates the famous flowing Chris-Craft script above a highly detailed marine scene featuring:
Speedboat • Waves • Seabirds • Nautical graphics • Raised three-blade propeller

DESIGN
These are especially attractive Chris-Craft emblems because they contain far more detail than the company's simple script badges.
Across the face is the famous:
Chris ★ Craft
script.
Below it is an elaborate nautical scene with a speeding motorboat traveling across the water, multiple raised wave patterns and three seabirds flying above the water.
At the center is a separate raised three-blade propeller, giving each emblem a wonderful dimensional appearance.
The original blue, red/pink and metallic colors remain visible beneath decades of natural aging.
SIZE
Each emblem measures approximately:
4 inches wide
Please refer to the ruler photograph for the most accurate dimensions.
Because vintage Chris-Craft hardware was used across different boats and applications, buyers should compare the dimensions and rear mounting configuration with their particular boat before purchasing for restoration use.
AGE / IDENTIFICATION
This design corresponds to the vintage Chris-Craft propeller plate/dash emblem style associated with Chris-Craft boats of approximately the 1950s–1960s.
Replacement examples of this design are identified in today's classic-boat parts market under Chris-Craft part number 04-44-30341.
These pieces themselves are clearly aged and appear to be original vintage hardware rather than newly manufactured replacement pieces based on the extensive natural wear, aged finishes and rear construction visible in the photographs.
No claim is made that they fit every Chris-Craft model.
CONDITION — PLEASE READ
These are being sold in original unrestored condition.
They have authentic age and use wear.
Expect:
- Chrome/plated-finish deterioration
- Oxidation and corrosion
- Pitting
- Scratches and scuffs
- Paint/color loss
- Discoloration
- Darkened areas
- Surface deposits
- Wear around raised lettering
- Wear to propellers
- Age and mounting wear on backs
- Old mounting hardware
- General weathering consistent with old marine hardware
One emblem has more surface deterioration than the other, particularly around the upper Chris-Craft lettering and surrounding plated surface.
The second example retains noticeably more of its original face finish and color.
Both three-blade propellers remain present.
Rear photographs are included to show the mounting studs and hardware. The mounting arrangement/hardware is not identical between the two emblems, so buyers should study those photographs carefully.
These have NOT been polished, repainted, rechromed or restored.
That makes them excellent candidates for someone who wants to preserve their original patina or professionally restore them for a classic Chris-Craft.
PERFECT FOR
Chris-Craft boat restoration
Classic wooden boat collectors
Vintage marine hardware collections
Chris-Craft memorabilia
Boat dash restoration
Nautical decor
Marina displays
Lake-house decor
Man cave / garage displays
Vintage boating collections
These would look fantastic professionally restored, but they also have tremendous character displayed exactly as found.
