G'day Guys,
I'm new here but thrilled to join the club! I'm an Australian/Canadian living in New Zealand and particularly have a soft spot for classic british cars...though my Dad had a '57 Chevy, a Bricklyn (frightful looking) and a Stingray Corvette that I must confess I also quite liked. I have a bit of a challenge for you if someones willing to take a crack at it! I had a mysterious gentleman hand me an apparently 'rare and valuable' collectors item. I think it is from an American model, and believe it to be a piece from the horn cover (maybe some type of Cadillac?) anyway to be completely honest I was a little tipsy at the time and can't recall what it was from. Any guesses (or certainties) would certainly be appreciated! See below.... @

Well my apologies, but one can never be too careful.
Warning bells were triggered by the username (google it for the answer) a dodgy looking link, new member with his first post.

Definitely the Cadillac badge but it could be near to impossible to tell which make or model as the badge is pretty generic but would guess its 1920s or 30s

You haven't done anything wrong.
It's just your user name??? Have you googled your user name?
