Can you identify this hood piece?

[Jerry]

This was found in an in-law estate. Any chance you can identify what car it came from?

My guess would be Peugeot, but have no idea as to the year.

thanks Mickey,

I thought it was a lion.

It's definitely the shape of the Peugeot lion. More ornate than any I've seen, though. Nice item!

Lion?!?!

I thought it was a Rorschach test. :wink:

...seriously, my first guess was Peugeot as well.

+1 - I have returned to this thread about 1/2 a dozen times and just now saw the lion.

I think that is the

Creast of the Golden Monkey.

They originated in India
(since it was a British Colony once)
And were placed on the hoods of many
of their
fine automobiles.

And their purpose was to give the
Indian Driver's a center piece to
concentrate on when officiating
a turning procedure.

That way when they came to the USA
it made it easy for them to pass the test
to get a job as a cab driver.
