Re: Bookend? Model? Unknown Object????
I cant place it but believe it resembles a hood ornament from possibly a pontiac?
Re: Bookend? Model? Unknown Object????
sorry, but there is also a similar desoto hood ornament. hope this helps.
Re: Bookend? Model? Unknown Object????
It's a radiator cap from a rolls royce. I've seen a few over the past couple years at auction, both in near mint condition, that sold for $200-300. This one is very worn but still a great piece. The same design "spirit of the wind?" was done by a famous artist in glass/crystal and those versions command tens of thousands.

Re: Bookend? Model? Unknown Object????
It's a hood ornament, off of what i have no idea. values for them depend a great deal on condition, the make and model of car they were mounted and rarity. we'd retail this one for about 150 dollars.
