I finally listed the hood ornament! I've been researching this thing for a full 2 days now. First I checked on eBay and found one similar (but not exact) on completed listings...it was a 1933 Olds. Then I emailed my son-in-law, who said it was a 1954 Buick. I'd already been on various sites that show the different (there are soooo many!) but when I searched for a '54 Buick, it just wasn't the same--the '54 had upturned wings.
I put a picture on Facebook and got a few suggestions...one friend suggested it looked like an old Cadillac piece. I talked to the old guy around the corner who knows old cars...he said it looked a lot like an Oldsmobile.
So I listed it with a few question marks--and even revealed my ignorance in the description...would you believe it got a bid in the first 6 hours it was listed!!!
Now I'm second-guessing myself: Did I start it too low? I don't think so, but we'll see how it turns out in 6 days....check it out yourself:
