Norlipp Dealers Catalog 1938 (2012 reprint)
This is a rare reproduction catalog of Radiator cap ornaments that was in a limited edition of 10 copies and I got it from the author at Artanana Publishing, Victoria B.C., Canada.
This was put out by James R. Colwill who will most probably be the most prolific of authors on Hood Ornaments and Car Mascots ever ! He was most kind to give me the opportunity to own a copy !~

Very nice phil I love collecting catalogs.
Love that Jester!

very nice.
Well, Phil ... great ephmera and it now looks like you have a shopping list for 2013.
Merry Christmas, Phil!
Thank you pops52 for the love !~
