Early Genuine British Alvis Eagle Bird Hood Ornament Car Mascot in Used Condition mounted on period plastic base

Early Genuine British Alvis Eagle Bird Hood Ornament Car Mascot in Used Condition mounted on period plastic base Made in 1931, but not released as an Alvis Mascot until a few years after. This is brass plated and as can be seen in the images has some significant wear in a few places due to the plating wearing off. It was attached to the front of an Alvis for a considerable number of years and the wear to the mascot reflects this fact. A genuine example with AEL stamped on the rear section it's a lovely mascot which would display well. Note there appears to be a shortening of the lower beak, however I'm not 100% certain and might be original. Measures, with the base, 16 cm in height and 17 cm wingspan. Please view all images for an idea of condition and design. Suitable for fixing to any vehicle, motorbike, moped, e.t.c. A substantial vintage item. Delivery using tracked/signed service only. Happy to send International and packed carefully to avoid damage. Please note that I can't ship to a P.O. Box address as tracking is not available.
