Cool hood ornament

[Stan Hillis]

Fella drove this to my church for the yearly homecoming service. Finest hood ornament I've ever seen, a fine rendition of a bobwhite quail in full wing.

I've seen that one before. But I will agree it is super cool!

It is likely a reproduction. JC Whitney used to have that one in their catalogs fifty - sixty - seventy years ago.

I prefer the quail, thank you.

[Andrew Sacco]

So...which one is displayed in a museum? Just saying : )

[Jerry VanHorn]

The Quail is from a Model A Ford...factory equipment..

[Dave Noreen]

It was a Ford or after market accessory. New ones are about $115 on ebay, $130 with the thermometer.

Wonder if back in the day they were among the auto accessories made by the A.H. Fox Gun Co.?
