Stu,
A good source of the MANY Sunbeam emblems can be found, and purchased,
from Sunbeam Specialty. Here is a link to the catalog page:
http://www.rootes.com/Catalogpages/p26.html
There is a fine article on the subject by our friend the late 'Ole'
Olson, past president of Sunbeam Owner's Group of San Diego:
"What kind of "Beastie" is that, on my Tiger Crest?"
http://www.tigersunited.com/articles/oo-tc/h-dog.asp
"John Talbot the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury who fought against Joan of Arc.
The Talbot Hounds and was a badge worn by his soldiers/retainers.
Heraldically described as "A lion statant with tail extended. "Statant
Attitude" . This apparently refers to the position of the arm and paw.
Standing on all feet, facing to the right is "Statant". With one paw
raised in a striking position, and the others ready to spring, is
"passant". "
The actual heraldic example of the "talbot passant" is also shown here:

It is a "Talbot Hound".
"You pays your money, and you makes your choice"
All sources linked.
