ARTIFACT:
This is an Association of Licensed American Manufacturers (ALAM) badge from the 1910 New York National Car Show. Originally the Manufacturer's Mutual Association (MMA), ALAM adopted its new identity in 1903. ALAM launched a lawsuit against Ford Motor Corporation, believing Ford had no right to an automobile manufacturing license. After six years Ford was deemed to have that very right, and the rest is history. This piece was a watch fob by Whitehead & Hoag Company that had a button added for wear as a hanging badge. The eagle on the fob is perched upon an automobile tire that reads ALAM10 within its spokes.
