Hello I’ve just rediscovered this lovely silver Charm, found this over 12 years ago, these can be worth a lot compared to the size of it. I haven’t looked at charm prices for years. I think this one is Victorian

I found a possible twin, although the link doesn't behave quite the same on my hybrid as it does on my smartphone (single picture only on my hybrid):

If yours is hinged on the rear, it will open to reveal the engine compartment.
D'oh!
Now that I'm looking again, I see in your fourth picture that it does indeed open.
Anyway, I'm wondering about your characterization of it as "Victorian." Certainly, some automobiles were invented during the Victorian era (Benz goes back to 1886), but I don't see what it is about the design or the charm or the automobile depicted that strikes you as Victorian.
