1920 ' S Antique Willys Knight Hood Ornament Radiator Cap
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:45402081 |
This auction is for this 1920's antique Willys "Knight" radiator cap. There's good and bad about this one. Also know that there's 2 parts to this...the knight and his saddle/base.
The good is that the knight is in excellent condition. He has no cracks and has his complete lance with original set screw (check other auctions...lance is usually broken), with both being in excellent shape. He retains all the little details with no gouges or evidence of being mish...andled.
The bad is his saddle/base. It has cracks throughout it. The worst part is that at some point the cap threads were cut off. I think my dad adapted this for his MG TC. He probably drilled a hole into a TC radiator cap and attached this. So, it won't screw onto anything as it is.
If you have a good base and a bad knight, this is for you. Or, if you want to adapt this to another type radiator cap, this may work.
