For the bid to go this high, there has to be some misunderstanding of what is real and what is fake.
These are gimmick replicas that were made, I think, in the 1970’s or slightly later. These have no connection with the original hood ornaments in any way, other than a resemblance and a reference to same.
Buyer beware, these should not bring any kind of big money.
Thanks for the warning. They reaaaaaaaly just plain SMELL bad. The nose knows. Look Chinese.
