eddyramrod Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Looks like a stylised F-86 Sabre jet, so I would have to guess 1950s American, but more specific I can't do, sorry. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I don't think it is from a particular car, more a generic aftermarket accessory, they were very common and very varied. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions. The scooter is sixty years young and resided in Italy until a few weeks ago. I'd imagine the ornament was fitted in the early days, as the scooter appears to have been off the road since the early 70s. If nothing else, it's got me looking at 1950s American hood ornaments on Ebay for ideas - there are some proper stunners available! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
