Beautiful highly-polished Nickle-Chrome plated 1/2 scale solid die-cast 1926 Franklin motor car mascot hood ornament with replica radiator cap . This hood ornament replica takes the shape of a menacing rearing lion. This is a very detailed display replica which measures 3 inches long by 2-3/4 inches wide by 3 inches high and is quite heavy. It is an exact replica of this very desirable mascot which is mounted on a clear acrylic base etched with "1926 Franklin". I believe this same mascot was used on many model years.
It is a great jewel-like collectible for anyone who has had or experienced memories of the beautifu, rare old Franklin motor cars of the late twenties and early thirties in their lifetime or who has one now. This model is a high quality true to scale mascot accessory used on Franklin cars of the period. It is perfect as a shelf ornament or desk paperweight. It has felt on the bottom. It comes with a very nice textured royal blue presentation box with a fitted blow-moulded insert, clear plastic protective cover and closable window lid with "1926 Frankiln " stamped in silver on the top. The presentation box is also perfect for display while keeping dust off the piece.
This mascot was produced by Signature Models exclusively for YesteryearCollectibles, who has now gone out of business and the tooling has been retired. In short, that means that this piece will never be produced again. When they are gone, they are gone. Don't miss your chance to own this beautiful collectible
It is a perfect gift for that man in your life. Whether a father, son, brother or husband. Can't afford a $300.00 original? Here's the perfect alternative. Picture it prominently dispIayed on his desk or trophy shelf! I apologize for the quality of the photos. The brilliance of the Chrome plating doesn't work well with the flash.
Offered at no reserve and a very low starting price. Your mascot will be carefully packaged and shipped priority mail. I will gladly combine items for shipping savings. Happy bidding.
