Neat. I saw one of the last two on one of the Packard concept cars shown at Amelia this year. The first two I think are the most common, found on funeral coaches and such.
I have nothing to add in regards to value. Ralph Marano may be interested in the last two.

I'm perhaps stating the obvious; the triangular emblem in your post #2 (next to the quarter) is the emblem for the Packard Pan American. I don't know if it's original or not, but with only 4 cars of that model built, it would certainly be rare if authentic.

Thanks for all the comments. As far as I know, they are all authentic. They came from a guy that was a huge car collector. I bought some tools and these items were in the box as well. I'll be the first to admit I know nothing about antique cars, so any and all info is greatly appreciated. As far as the Packard pan American car emblem is concerned, how could I tell I it's authentic?

It's possible someone knows these well enough to tell from your photo but absent that, I'd think the only way could be to carefully compare it to those found on one of the cars. Even that may be difficult if those on the cars were refinished in the course of a restoration. One Pan American is NJ, another in Ohio, I'm not certain about the whereabouts of the others. PM me if you want me to forward your photo to the owner of the Pan American in NJ and ask his opinion.

It is likely that Packard had more than 4 Pan American emblems made, that some were kept for spares, and some employees or executives took them as souvenirs.
That would be my first guess, that the Pan American emblem was authentic but was never on a car.

Let me know if you would be interested in selling the last badge you have pictured. This is a dash badge for a Henney built ambulance or hearse. I have a 1954 and a 1953 Henney Junior ambulance. The 54 has one the 53 badge is missing and need one. Let me know if you wish to part with it.
