I am getting rather tired of posting jewellery so I am posting this instead to show I have other interests. I really love car mascots which were very popular in the twenties and some years later. Here is a standing knight mascot of 7 1/2 inches high and possibly for a Morris car. For me it was more unusual and not many knight mascots around. They made many mascots and almost anything you can think of was considered as a subject. This came early in my mascot collecting days, possibly 2012. The chrome is in rather good condition., and I kept the lot # tag on a long time. It came from Denhams, the Sussex Auctioneers in Horsham, lot 120 and sold to me for 120 pounds, an auction that had a number of mascots in it.
Cool...I tried to get into this area of collecting, but was a little late to the party...prices for entry were more than I wanted to spend. I mean..vintage lever gun...or car mascot...lever guns for the win every time.
Really love this! Fantastic!
A very handsome knight & different car mascot, kudos Phil great find!
Thanks dav, prices are not for the weaker purse at all. But with rarity comes dollars !~

Thank you Eileen, I am very fond of those 2 pieces you mention, the Indian Chief has the added benefit of lighting up I love !~
Thank you again Amare. I know what you are talking about. Sometimes I just miss things also here in the twilight zone where you never stop seeing things !~
Lovely. I miss your car mascot posts, specially those signed by renowned artists.
