Name That Vintage Devil..?????

Nash from Burn Out magazine emailed me and was asking the correct name of this vintage Devil???

I know its a topper of some sort...

Anyone?

 

I think it was an accessory off a Whizzer Motor Bike. My dad has one on his car.

Sorry man..........

 

The "Devil thumbing his nose"

There's another version, where he's using both hands.

***Thumbing the nose***

A sign of derision made by putting your thumb on your nose and wiggling your fingers. Originated in the 1640s in Vienna. Gained popularity when Shakespeare is said to have 'thumbed his nose' at Edmond Rostand

Aftermarket radiator cap from the late 20s, early thirties.

Bump

 

I always called him Larry.

 

I'm going to cast one that gives you the stink palm instead of thumbing his nose at you.

 

My Cousins had one on a 1950 Crosley 2 door station wagon. Black roof with a Red Body.

The color's of the Chicago Fire Department. With the chrome Devil on the hood. Thumb'in ya.

They called him, " Slick "

 

I think he's known as...."The inventor of f*??in' super glue !!"

 

Super Glue... ha ha... I get it.
