I found this hood ornament buried in a garage. I have tried to search the internet to find out anything about it, to no avail. Please help.

Thank you

Its an american made one, with not too much attention to the hands and face. Sometime in the 30's this would have appeared but not a rare one or one of too much merit. I will look again at my catalogs.

More research shows this was made a lot later to get with the large market for mascots. Its a reproduction piece with no more to it than to defraud the market.
