Went out for a bit did a door knock got permission at an old house sort of disappointing with just clad coins, but did find a neat item. It is a hood ornament for a Dodge Murray-Gedron Pedal Car. These were made between 1924 to 1937. Unfortunately mine is broken but I have a picture of how it is supposed to look and a painting of the car itself. I looked at it and for some reason it said to me Hood Ornament but to be honest I wasn't thinking pedal cars, did some googling came up the example being sold on e-bay that gave more details which led to the painting!

Amen to that thumbsup01 It makes it fun to learn about history- by the things we find... It's inevitable as we look them up.
