I`ve mentioned before that I collect radiator caps & hood ornaments. Mostly American, but I also have some French, British, and Australian ones too.
They range from 1919 to about 1938, (but most are 1928 to 1934).
I finally got some pictures of them on photo-bucket, if you care to have a look...........

I used to collect Lalique mascots years back and have a few, but frankly I watched the bidding on a frog one recently and was astonished at the price. £14,000 no less and that excluding commission and VAT! I'll keep what I bought thirty years back but certainly won't be adding to the collection any more. |

Yes, the Lalique glass mascots are WAY beyond my budget too!
Some of the more rare ones keep climbing also. _________________ "The only thing I`m sure of.....is that I`m not sure of anything!" |
