An original Atlas Illuminated Hood Ornament
The title is great but unfortunately do not know too much about the history of this ornament if any. This was the 2nd item and was #2 listed in the hood ornament collection that I bought. There was around 22 items pertaining to hood ornaments and I was successful on the 20 items I wanted.
