John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/20/2016 06:36 am Looks like maybe a car hood ornament? How big is it? John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Edited by John1 10/20/2016 06:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

I'm sure there were other companies that did so as well. It could have been on a boat, too. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/23/2016 06:53 am I was thinking hood ornament also. Looking down on it, are there any mounting holes? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/31/2016 9:20 pm I'm watching The Antiques Roadshow and saw a hood ornament that was worth $20-30K. It was nicer/cleaner than yours but I was really surprised at the value. Turns out that they were designed by some very famous artists. Definitely worth looking in to. Report this Post to the Staff
