Hi, It's got the look of art deco (20s or 30s) after market, it doesn't look particularly big so maybe British. Other than that I can't offer anything else.

I'm guessing Chevrolet, similar to top right...  |

After extensive research, I can confirm that... It appears to be an amalgamation of several hood mascot designs!

Nash did something similar, as did DeSoto (and no doubt a few others) but I'm with colnerov on this one and reckon it's an aftermarket accessory rather than a factory fitted item.

Makes for a great, interesting diversion googling bonnet/radiator mascots.
So many wonderful designs & ideas.

I thought Vauxhall was a griffin but could be a clue - didn't Vauxhall do a US spaceshipe stylised car in the 60s? The victor?
