I ran across this on EBAY. Owner has it listed as being from a '51 or '52 which is clearly not correct. I would like to be able to tell him what it is from so I did some picture searching on Google. Problem is, I can't find a mustache that has this type of block lettering on it. Anyone know what this is? Aftermarket replacement piece perhaps?

It's not an aftermarket item.

Looks like a rare piece of 1953 Buick wall art......usually made so by UPS, FedEx, or another shipping company.....the passenger side half of a one-piece mustache.....from either a Series 40 (narrower) or Series 50-70 (wider) mustache. I have one just like it. :o

Thanks once again Al. I don't know why, but that style of lettering made me think 40's so I didn't look past '49. That, and the seller didn't describe it as being broken and I knew some of the earlier mustache bars were more than one piece. Mystery solved. I'll give the seller the bad news.
