Art & Inspiration Cool garden find, ID needed.

My gardener wife was digging in one of the town's flower gardens yesterday and found this broken radiator ornament. I've searched online and haven't found anything similar. He appears to be wearing only a loin-cloth and some type of short cape. Any ideas from the HAMB?

 

A armless / footless trophy topper,....... (you could glue him to your radiator cap)

 

Bob

 

pretty sure it's another one of them 30k year old sculptures like they just found in the cave in germany

 

Here is "Stubs" cousin,......


and his sister,.....

 

It's Venus de Milo's brother, Kevin.

 

Not me, my legs are longer.

BB

 

Have you looked under the loin cloth?

Maybe his name is ****.

 

Or Peter...

 

Could be off of a foreign car.

Wang?

 

hmmm, no arms no legs, maybe its offa one of them motorized scooters i always see people ridin around in walmart

 

Good to see you back Danimal!

That was funny,

Tim

 

Not by much.

 

Maybe "Oscars" brother,"Irving?"

 

Besides looking under the loin cloth you might try to find a picture of a Pierce Arrow ornament... looks like the bow and arrow are broken off that one.

OK maybe not...

nice ***... he must work out.



(note: the preceding was a line from Dumb and Dumber, not my opinion on mens ****s)

 

lol at this whole thread.

not everything in the world came off a car guys

 

and if by chance it was off an old rare car, probly not to valuable in that condition.
No arms or legs found in a hole......phil

 

I am laughing not only at this thread, but as you made me remember riding in my Dad's Plymouth Duster as a kid and watching everyone do a double-take at the "bowling guy" trophy topper that he had put on the car as a hood ornament! Man, my Mom was pissed, but we thought that it was funny as hell!!!

 

Mercury

 

Isn't there some sort of superhero out there whose arms and legs aren't visible...maybe on the Venture Brothers??

 

Hahahahahahaha!!! The responses are killing me here!
Trophy topper it is, based on Harms Way's photos. Thanks for the chuckle, everyone!

 

I apologize in advance for being totally tasteless.

It would seem to me if the guy has no arms or legs that his name would be MATT!

 

I found this one from a 1919 Spalding.


This was a very rare option for a Super Bee


How proud would you be to have this leading the way of your Dodge Dart !


Or this !

 

If it were an irish girl on your porch with no arms and legs her name would be patty o'furniture

 

Alright I've been trying to avoid this thread all morning, but seeing as how it has been bumped up to the fist page for the last 4 hours I guess I can't beat em so I'll join em.....

Hey throw that "hood ornament" in your pool and call him bob!

Or you could throw em' in the hot tub and call him Stew!
... alright I'll get back to my 3rd grade desk now!

 

I could always toss him in a hole in the ground and call him Doug. Or set him on a mountain side and call him Cliff.

 

Well, if you hang him up in your garage, he'd be Art.

During the nice warm summer months you could take him water skiing and call him Skip.

Sorry!

 

...only if he's at the door...
