Hood ornament ID

Anyone know what this came off of?

 

Old US postal service ornament? Maybe 30's Packard.

 

Time to start looking at pictures of higher end cars - like 1931-1940 or so -

 

I've noticed that a lot of the "hood ornaments" I've seen advertised are actually the tops of trophy's or other non-automotive items. This may well be, as I'm 100% sure it's not a Packard ornament.

 

might be a little later into the 40's, but not much past 48... its definitely got a deco flavor

 

31-34 studebaker, but its missing the radiator cap , came on the president models

 

Well done LowFat - the Flying Goose was a Studebaker signature hood ornament.

 

Sweet - thank you!!! It's owned by a friend of ours and she is thinking about selling it. Now she'll know what she's selling

 

1932 Studebaker President radiator cap / ornament

I replied to this thread last night (shortly after FiddyFour's post) with the above pic ... but for some reason my post got deleted

Anyway ... no worries ... LowFat48 got you your answer ... the power of the HAMB !!!
