Rare 1920-1930s Owl Accessory Radiator Mascot. Sits on a tall plastic Dodge Inc. Trophy Base. When I purchased this it was advertised as a Dodge Ornament. I do not know of any Owls that were factory approved by Dodge, but I do know that Dodge is a legendary Trophy Manufacturer that has been around forever. Dodge is most famous for making "The Oscar" for the Academy Awards. The Trophy base is period as is the radiator cap that the owl stands on. I like the tall base, not only is it period to the Mascot, but any bird mascot with spread wings should sit on top of a higher base. Intricate ornate detail of the bird throughout. Exceptional Quality. Life-like Bird of Prey. The majority of Owl Mascots have ruby glass eyes. In my opinion that gives it the cheaper aftermarket look. This one stands pretty proud. Very Classy and Cool. An outstanding display piece. Not only an extraordinary piece of Transportation Memorabilia but also an exemplary stand alone piece of art. Believed to be Solid Chromed Bronze. Measures 8" tall and the cool plastic Dodge Trophy base measures a 3-1/4" diameter.
This one will be something to treasure and hand down to your future generations of automobile mascot lovers or anyone that collects Owl Figures. Ounce for ounce, Pound for pound, radiator mascots are the most valuable pieces of automobile memorabilia that you can buy. A smart investment in my book, that will always maintain and increase in value. Way better than keeping your money in a bank! Very cool Transportation Collectible from many going on one hundred years of age.
