This is a lovely shiny chromed brass car mascot.
It dates to the 1930s and was made by Desmo - it has the Desmo copyright mark on the back near to the tail section.
The mascot is an original one - and takes the form of a leaping jaguar.
These mascots were often mounted onto old Jaguar SS cars.
Thie fellow is in very excellent condition with no losses to the chrome and looks of detail in the casting.
It measures some 20 cm in length.
The mascot is mounted on a vintage oval white metal base for display purposes.
As nice an example of this mascot as you might see and available here at a very fair price.
It is NOT a reproduction - but an original Desmo 30s copyright example.
