Original vintage MGD (Miehle-Goss-Dexter) metal equipment emblem or machine badge. This authentic industrial nameplate features the distinctive raised MGD logo cast into a brushed aluminum body and was likely mounted on a printing press, folder, reel stand, or other commercial printing equipment manufactured by Miehle-Goss-Dexter.
Miehle-Goss-Dexter was one of the most influential printing equipment manufacturers of the twentieth century, producing newspaper presses and commercial printing systems used throughout North America. Original factory emblems from MGD equipment are increasingly difficult to find and are highly collectible among printing history enthusiasts, newspaper memorabilia collectors, and industrial décor enthusiasts.
The badge measures approximately 5 inches by 5 inches and displays beautifully with its bold raised design and classic industrial styling. It would make an excellent display piece for a print shop, office, workshop, man cave, newspaper collection, or industrial décor display.
