Wanted/needed Superior wreath...

I am in search of a wreath ornament for the rear door of my father's 72 Superior Cadillac. The current one on his hearse is broken. It is about 5 1/2 tall and 5 1/4 wide. Can anyone help?

Thanks all!

it would appear to be a superior option not a GM one. is it plastic or pot?

Ed, it is pot metal for sure! You might be correct that it is a Superior part and not a GM/Cadillac part. My close up of my Dad's car and Dan's full rear shot show the same emblem.

* So, was this only an option by Superior on the Crown line and their flower cars?

* Do I need to find one of the two above mentioned vehicles to scavenge this part from?

* Since I am not the only one needing/wanting/looking for one of these, I wonder how hard it would be to have reproductions made. If we could find one good one, it would seem that someone could replicate it fairly easily.

Hmmm... Things to ponder...
 
getting them cast and plated is easy enough but can get on the expensive side. if you still have the tip repairing it is possible also. how is it put on? if you could remove it and brake off the other side at least it would be balanced till you could locate another one.
 
I have a good one on my 69 crown... the chrome is gone but the wreath is complete... If anybody figures out how to replicate one , i am willing to use mine for a starting point.
 
A few e-mails have been sent out in reference to finding someone that might recast these.

My father seems to have someone in particular in mind to check with.

I will let everyone know what we find out as soon as I have more information.
