Default HELP!!! Need Small 50th Anniversary Emblems

I am looking desperately to find the small 50th anniversary logos (approx. 2" long, smaller than the fender badges). I had one on each center cap of the wheels for over 5 years. However they became weather tarnished and faded. I would like to replace them. I have new wheels and center caps but need these emblems. Back in '03 and '04 they were everywhere, all vendors had them. Of course. now they are virtually non-existent. I don't do ebay but other than that if anyone could steer me in the direction of 4 of them, I would sincerely appreciate it. I believe the vendors originally referred to them as 22 karat gold emblems. I have "googled" all over the internet with no success. I can only find the fender badges and they are too big for the wheel center caps. My wife, being the Corvette girl she is, suggested I try the forum, therefore this thread. If you have any info, please IM me or send an email to CorvetteOJ@AOL.COM. Thanks,

OJ

OJ,
Have you tried calling the vendor directly? I am thinking of the larger guys like Mid America or Eckler's. They might not have the volume to take catalog space, but might have some in the back room somewhere.

Good hunting,
Dan

Yes Dan, I have called every vendor I have ever dealt with and then some. I have been looking for these for over six months. I have absolutely run out of folks to contact. The forum was my last ditch effort. Thanks for the response,

OJ
