Can anyone identify this mascot for me?
It's chrome on brass and is 6 1/2" long.
Thanks

Hi
The figure depicted looks like the BT piper logo, though that didn't have the wings, it might be useful to discover what mythical figure they were trying to depict.
The wings are in an ArtDeco style for dating.
I would think it is an after market item from the '20s-'30s _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |

New chap here. Well not new, but I haven't posted before, just dropped in for a look occasionally. I don't own anything old or interesting at the moment having had a clear out a while back.
Anyway, could this be a representation of the Archangel Gabriel? I don't know which car it would be off though. |
