Larry Schramm Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Does anyone recognize this image on this radiator cap? It is on a dog bone style cap. Thanks, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The staff is a Caduceus. A woman carrying it would most likely represent Iris, messenger of the gods. Female counterpart of Hermes. I don't know if any car company used her as an emblem. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The dogbone is an aftermarket item and allows you to add a monogram shield or keep the one you see. The main downside is that they were made during the time that the pot-metal wasn’t well refined and it developed a serious problem of expansion to the point where it disintegrates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
