I still have the membership roster and the club newsletters ("Snake Bits"). As for the badge, we donated ours to the Chanteclair restaurant in NYC so that it could take its place as part of the collection of more or less historic car badges that the owner of the place, Maurice Dreyfus had collected. Monsieur Dreyfus had been the driving champion of France in the 1930s before becoming a New York restauranteur.

I have a pretty complete collection of "Snake Bits" as well as the SOA magazines. reading the "for sale" adverts just makes me very depressed.
