to Lottacars......Good question, I don't know naything about hood ornaments but I purchased these along with others from the Zimmerman Museum in L.A. when they closed. I do know they were on display in one of the gallaries and I would think that they are correct. I do know the size is right by looking at others on line and I do know they were made from a varity of metals. In any event they look great and are a great conversation piece.
Are these copies or originals?
To ..Scolar827.....They are all packed and ready to go . They are bubble wrapped and placed in individual boxes and then in a larger box. I like to ship UPS ground insured. If the buyer has their own account that they would like to use it is no problem to drop off at FedEx.
Do you help with shipping? Thank you
This great group of ‘Toppers’ are a wonderful tribute to the great cars of the pre war era. You can’t beat the provenance having been on display at a great private museum. If you’re interested Worldwide is auctioning the cars in The spring in Auburn………don’t miss this wonderful conversation piece
