    I am not sure what year it is from. I think it's brass and has wooden ball.
    There are not markings. It's about 6" tall. I found it at a flea market. It's pretty unique (at least to me).

      Guys and gals, my friend just told me it isn't a hood ornament. He thinks it was part of a bell and made of bronze. Because the ball on top is wood, it couldn't be a hood ornament plus if you flick it, it makes a bell sound!!

      Now I wonder what this bell went to?? It prob should be moved out of the hood ornament column.

      Robinlip, I had the feeling that it wasn't a car mascot too. Now, we just have to figure out what it is. We can eliminate a lot of things like fossils, Amer. Indian etc.

      I'm pretty sure it's not a potato! Kidding aside, it's a really neat piece!

      Robinlip, you can edit the entry, just click edit on the left side of the page under add to collection. Now where to put it, that's a whole other question!

      Thank you, I checked those links!!
      Phil, you could have told me. I wouldn't have been disappointed just grateful that you had an idea what it was.

      You are all amazing. Thank you!!
    15. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 10 years ago
      Exit, stage-left. Phil has done it again without smoke or mirrors.
