Good afternoon ladies & gentlemen Smile

On another forum I frequent, nothing to do with cars, there's a discussion about this mascot.

Can anyone tell me what car, model, year this mascot is from?

Cheers

John

Hi
I suspect that it is an after market mascot, stylistically it is like those french bronze ladies from the Deco period.

Hi John,

I agree with Penman. It's not a mascot associated with any particular manufacturer. It appears to be Cupid or Eros. It might simply be a desk ornament rather than a car mascot.

Agree almost certainly aftermarket accessory if mascot. The only make I can recall using a similar ornament was Pierce Arrow but the archer was crouched.
As an aside but you probably knew Louis Lejeune still make and supply many of the prewar mascots as they did then. A quick Google will find their website with pictures.
