THE BMW ENAMEL PLATE DATED BETWEEN 1917-1936 (SEE PHOTO HISTORY OF THE BMW LOGO) IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, NO RESTORATION. HISTORY OF THE BMW LOGO IN 1917, FRANZ JOSEF POPP CREATED THE BMW BRAND (BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE) IN MUNICH ON THE BASIS OF RAPP MOTORENWERKE GMBH FOUNDED IN 1913, A MANUFACTURER OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES. AT THIS TIME, NO LOGO APPEARS. THE YOUNG COMPANY, HOWEVER, ADOPTED A LOGO ON OCTOBER 5, 1917. THE FIRST BMW EMBLEM, REGISTERED IN THE IMPERIAL TRADEMARK REGISTER, RETAINED THE ROUNDED SHAPE OF THE OLD RAPP LOGO. THE OUTER RING OF THE SYMBOL IS NOW DEMARCATED BY TWO GOLDEN LINES AND BEARS THE INITIALS BMW. AIRPLANE AND BOAT ENGINES… IF THE COMPANY CONTINUES ITS ACTIVITIES IN THE AERONAUTICAL FIELD, IT IS BANKING ON OTHER OUTLETS: ENGINES FOR THE AUTOMOBILE SECTOR AND AGRICULTURE, AS WELL AS ENGINES FOR BOATS. HOWEVER, THE MAIN ACTIVITY REMAINS THE MANUFACTURE AND MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES FOR THE GERMAN ARMY. |
