1927-28 Studebaker Atalanta Radiator Cap / Car Mascot / Hood Ornament.
I believe this radiator cap / hood ornament to be a 1927-28 first Edition as it screws on and is not a Twist lock cap. It is in great condition considering its age and is marked on the front and back (ATALANTA).
It was designed by Carl Moss (student of Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft). It depicts a robed woman running at speed and is in the classic art deco style. If you have any questions please don't hesitate... to ask also please look at all the photos as they are a large part of the description / condition of this item.
Condition is Used. Item does not include the base as it is for demonstration purposes only.
