I am posting this as an entertainment and educational piece.
Here is an Ebay auction for a pair of Aftermarket Hipo 289 one piece fender emblem assemblies by Ebay member "aquatarkus72" with a starting bid of $0.99:
Ultra unique set of hi-po 289 fender emblems from one of 7 Canadian hi-po falcons built in Oakville Canada plant for racing duty. Removed late 70's from a northeast vehicle. Castings are unique to the 7 hi-po falcons built, not the same as Ford Fairlane or Mustang. One piece design, heavy weighted with chrome plating with their own engineering part # on back, (which the new owner of these can disclose) so please don't ask. Used #0000 wool to bring the chrome back out on one, and repainted white high performance area it used to have (not black as later design used) then left the other one as original. Still has vehicle lettering overspray visible on the untouched emblem like the other had. One emblem had new threaded studs installed on back side due to major rust when removed and is ready to bolt on tight again. The other emblem attachment has it's original fasteners. A great piece of Canadian, Falcon and Ford racing history. These were most likely cast in either late 1963 or 64 so not sure if any of the few early 1964 Mercury Comet hi-po cars were destined originally to use these very interesting pieces as well.
