joemac Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone know when the half-dog emblem changed from the straight-ahead version to the type that is essentially a half of the hood ornament?I never see the earlier version for sale.It's one of those trivial things that I like knowing.

Vladislav Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I saw them used on e-bay.Off a B-model and usually need rechroming.

Superdog Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 They are on Ebay all the time , priced all over the place,. Like Vlad said,most need rechroming but once in awhile a real nice set will turn up. The C type fire trucks and the MB were the last trucks they used them on,up till at least '69.

joemac Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 OK, thanks.I bought a pair of the newer style two years ago at Macungie, from two different vendors.Both were NOS, but I really wanted the older style. Didn't see any, but there were plenty of the newer style, usually for $35+, depending on how badly pitted they were. They were attached to the sides of the tank on my bike, which is styled after a Mack fire truck, complete with authentic gold leaf striping. I also lucked out and bought a used ashtray with the smaller hood ornament style bulldog in nice shape.It now resides on top of the bike's headlight.I'm presently re-doing the tank and since the bulldogs are off, if I can, I'll replace them with older style, if I can find a decent pair at a good price.

joemac Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Since posting my question and receiving the above responses, I've check eBay a half dozen times. Presently, there are 108 items listed. Not one older style bulldog. As usual.

57 bcr Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Joe,There are a couple of listings right now in the "vintage mack truck parts" category, for the old side dogs. Unfortunately, they are pitted and aren't cheap enough in my my book. (....cheap....cheap....cheap..)
