Chrome Hood Ornament - Vintage
« on: September 06, 2009, 06:25:23 AM »
Hi, I just bought this vintage hood ornament.  I like the old look of chrome items.  The guy figured it might be from around 1953, or 1954.  Looks a like Deco-ish to me to.

It is about 9 inches long  :o  ;D  :blush: so I took a pic of by a pen just to give some comparison.  I did pay $22 bucks for it (they wanted $40...I gaggled them down...) but then I wanted it -- and liked it.

Hi Rose, I was looking at a car mascot site a couple of nights ago which might help with this: http://www.mascot-mania.com/ if you search (box up top centre) for aeroplane or airplane you'll find a lot so there may well be a match there. :)

Thanks Anne....never knew they were called Mascots(?)

I did not find it on the site (maybe I will send them a pic tho...) but I did see that there is a number inside mine.  Looks like BF 16850.  So I did type just the number and found some on Ebay from $9.00 to $75.00 now that I know it has a number on it.

Found this one:  Please Click HERE

Says from a 1953 Ford Crest line....and most of the 1953's (in the Q and A) on that link.  Referred to as the *ROCKET* type.  I think mine is in better shape than that one...

Thanks, and for the great link there...  :kissy: :kissy:

Took a look there Ann, and just down a bit it looks like mine where it say FORD 1953....He has the same, so it must be right.

Clicky Here to see Match

Boy, some of those that he has are sure nice....like all of his examples on his home link you gave...
