Help To Identify Bonnet(?) Mascot

[DavieW]

Does anyone have any ideas what this mascot came off?

 

Size is 4 1/4" (11cm) with a small locating stud on the bottom. It looks like chromed brass.

 

TIA.

It's from the Horsey Horseless!

That looks aftermarket to me.

VERY ancient Ferrari or a REALLY old Mustang?

 

By old I mean second century.

 Hi, I agree with John F, it's aftermarket from between the wars (20s or 30s).

Pegasus, perhaps. But it does look aftermarket to me, though

I would go with Pegasus too. Off a Pegaso truck or coach maybe?

No wings though, so can't really be a Pegasus

Very Art Deco...I would guess French made 30's. It may not be a car mascot - could possibly off something like a desk set or manufacturers presentation ashtray etc.

I think it is French, too - 1930s or late 20s.    Some of these "cubist" and otherwise stylised mounts were nickel or silver plated on bronze.   Definitely after-market.  Any marks underneath such as catalogue number or maker cyphers?

Looks more like a dog with an Elvis hairdo, doing a big squirty shit

Well, we all know what Rocking Horse Shit is worth!

There are no markings at all on it.
