Jolly_John Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Hi, Greg. The slotted head screws for the star attachment makes me wonder if these might be some of the aftermarket decorative items sold by J.C. Whitney and others in the 1950's and 1960's. Put them on your car or cycle mudflaps, etc. John P.S. Ha! I just read West Peterson's guess....sorry my idea was so mundane by comparison....definitely not "four-star"!

1932 plymouth pb sedan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 They look like they came off the hood of a GMC General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramaton Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 They were made by ODEL and also BUCO. Real ones will have the trademark on the back. If they don't have any markings on the back they may be newer reproductions. Vintage aftermarket decorations for cars and motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
