The old man found this at a rummie this weekend. I have done a little research & found a few that were labeled as a 1941 Cadillac hood ornament.
My old man is concerned it is a reproduction as am I. He didn't pay much but we still want to know. Is there a way to tell? Regardless I think its cool, love the art deco look. Thanks for looking.
