Guest CJMChevy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I acquired many vintage automobile items, mostly Chevy, from my Grandfathers estate. I have a couple items that I would like to know more about such as age and potential value to a collector. I hope that the attachments provide enough detail. I believe the poster was a dealership window display from the 1950's and the artwork done by Chas Allen. The hood ornament is the masonic mascot and on the reverse is stamped "Copyright by Louis V. Aronson 1915. Thanks and I look forward to hearing some replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danceswithpumps Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think it's Shriners and not masons.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't believe the ornament is Masonic, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoneyPit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Shriner's ornament & it looks like it is on a generic (aftermarket) cap for a Model T Ford - what is the thread size & someone can confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CJMChevy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for the info on the Shriner mascot hood ornament. Any one have any details regarding the window poster or value of each item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_Edwards Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 All Shriners must be Masons, to clear or cloud the air of whether a symbol is Masonic or Shriner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
