Title: Car radiator glass mascot 1920s ?
Post by: malcmat on July 08, 2015, 09:52:52 PM

Hi, i am trying to research this glass car mascot bust. It was brought back from Europe at the end of the second world war by one of my soldier relatives sorry but that's all i know re the history of it.
It is 5.750 inches tall  and has a number 417 stamped on the brass base plate.
Any help with the bust would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Malcolm

I strongly suspect (a very grumpy!) Beethoven too. :)
