MGB: Mystery logo

What with all the mystery manifolds, I am reminded of a question I had before the bbs started. Several years ago, I came across a fram,e engine trans radiator and steering for what was obviously a Brit car. The horn push had that Dr.s symbol, the two snakes winding around whatever. I never have been able to place it, though it seemed familiar.
The engine size reminded me of a Morris, and the radiator was not long, but tall.
Ideas?

That was a very old Alfa Romeo.

There ya' go!! That was quick!!!

Anything like this?

Not even close. There was something in the middle (sword?), and two snakes twining around it. Cadeause? IS that the term?

I wuz wrong again. I've seen that logo too, it will take me a while to dredge up what it was. I do remember it's Italian, no longer built, and was quite a car in it's day.

a caduceus is the two-snake sprialing a sword thingamjigger

hwoever the alfa romeo is the only car I could find in my 'Encyclopida of the Car' with any sort of snake in the logo. The Lancia emblem had a sword in it, but no snakes

Caduceus--the staff carried by Mercury, the messenger of the gods in Roman myth (Hermes in Greek myth). It was also therefore carried by heralds in ancient times. I forget how it became associated with physicians/surgeons. Maybe because Mercury/Hermes was also a god associated with manual skill.

Ah, that's the feeling of 6 years of graduate school actually coming to some practical use....

So, it was a Triumph Herald? :)

Clever!
