At first appearance it looks very much like the hood ornament from the
1951-52 Chrysler Imperial but on closer examination I'm not so sure. The
Imperial has the circle and the main element but the circle doesn't stand
proud and the side wings are missing. I think it's older than the fifties
in any case but I have no pictures on file of this specific mascot. Sorry.

Thanks Max. I too thought it might be Chrysler -- maybe of Airflow
vintage. Tisn't, though. And can't find it any of my books.

I would love to see them. And thanks so much for clearing up my
puzzle. I sure thought that ornament was older than early 50's.

Hi Mike, I thought it was the Imperial too but have a look at the two and
you'll see considerable differences. On the one that Marshall posted the
circle top is not even with the rear portion of the mascot, unlike on the
Imperial. I had a look at all of my Imperial pictures and the mascot is
quite small and not exactly like the one in Marshall's picture. But I could
be wrong.

Well Max, looks the same to me.
I've put M. J. Schuon's two views into the ornament picture, cropped and enlarged it so you can see.

You know, I saw the resemblance but didn't see the perspective correctly
until I looked at your composite picture. I don't have depth vision because
my left eye is weaker than the right one and its message is largely ignored
unless I close my right eye. (I could never see 3-D movies through those
coloured glasses that they used to issue in the movies, for the same
reason.) I was seeing the wing in the rear as a vertical element leading
back from the circle but now it's plain. I guess it really does depend on
whether one can see outside the box. Thanks for clearing this up.

No problem Max.
But you know, I googled both 51s and 52s and never did see that hood ornament....hmmmmm
or at least close enough that I could make it out.
And my pictures of Imperials go from 50 to 53, miss the 51s and 52s altogether.
Nobody has posted any and I haven't been able to snag any off the web.

Mike
