Hi CW Gang:
Okay last post tonight. I gotta hit the hay and get over this flu!!!
I saw this last week over at friends place while having coffee. I had to have it as I used to work in the Horse-Racing Industry for over 2- years. This is metal and I think was from an older trophy.........BUT ALAS....IT IS NOT. Some members suggested it was a Car mascot, and a little bit of digging by me with that info, and sure enough it is a Car / truck mascot. I was fooled on this one as I was CERTAIN it was a trophy top....BUT WAS NOT
It does have a number on the bottom of A-57-A. Whatever, i am glad to have it here now !! Always a Special Place in my heart, For Horse-Racing !!
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

UPDATE: Thanks to GeodeJem for putting the idea out there that this MAY be a Car mascot. A little bit of research and I was able to find a match on it. So thank you GeodeJem. Also a Thanks for Kyratango for also seeing the same thing as GeodeJem did. See what different sets of eyes see!! Thank Gang !!

~ @Manikin ==> Thanks Mani, I love it it, and the way the color catches it seems to give Motion !!
It looks like a Car bonnet mascot.
Lovely and so appropriate!
I'm with GeodeJem, it can be a car mascot!
Phil?
Very cool Rose. Hope you are feeling better. :)
Hi Gang, yeah that thought went through my head too about it being a Car Mascot, but then just figured a metal trophy thing. Guess wait to see what Phil says.
Oh PHIL....................
Gee maybe it is. I did find a site of after-market car hood ornament, See the pink highlight section that reads * New After-Market Fighting Stallion Hood Ornaments " and there is a:
" Racing Horse with Chrome Finish, 6-1/2" High X 4-1/2 (Have 2 In Stock)" there for $ 85 each.
