Re: Radiator Ornament
"Not a rat rod" Fantastic.
This will turn into a neat thread. Keep em coming.
There is a guy on Fleabay gluing all kinda of stuff to stock caps. A ways back he had a "pooping dog", Loved it. So did 2 other guys. went for serious money. Once I figured out what that dog was, I found one. JB welded one on. Rattle canned it gold. Its my go to show cap.

Here's my Quik-Steam-Release cap, handy to relieve pressure prior to adding more water
And a couple more, the hot water handle gets laughs, and the little driver looks a lot like Henry!

Re: Radiator Ornament
Dan, I love your little driver guy!
Here is my custom cap. It’s more of a “show” cap than a “go” since it’s pretty heavy.

A comment.
"An earlier thread on the subject."
It is true their are older threads on a subject at hand, but there is this notice usually appears:
"Posting is currently disabled in this topic. Contact your discussion moderator for more information. "
So some times a new thread is needed to pick up where the other leaves off.
Sorry but needed to make the comment.

Re: Radiator Ornament
This one has been in my someday collection for a while. It is hollow and have not wanted to discolor by soldering on a mounting bolt. Looking at it today, maybe filling the inside with resin and sticking a brass stud in before it sets up. Ether this one or a Basset hound, quick when they want to be but very plodding the rest of the time, sorta like a T. Murphy the shop dog is a Basset.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Radiator Ornament
I was lucky enough to have a basset, 'Count Bassie' for 14 1/2 years. I have what looks like an Art Deco vintage leaping basset hound mascot. I may put it on my T someday. It is signed but I know nothing about the designer. It's not actually a 3D mascot like Ford's greyhound.Mark Gregush wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 3:17 pmEither this one or a Basset hound, quick when they want to be but very plodding the rest of the time, sorta like a T.

Re: Radiator Ornament
Many of you may have seen this mascot before. It's an old gentleman sawing on a fiddle.
I've had this one on my car from time to time.

Re: Radiator Ornament
I would love to have a cat or kitten cap. The T reminds me of a cat, purring contently some times & spitting & stubborn other times.

Re: Radiator Ornament
I actually found the Daimler cat mascot on the World Wide Interweb via an exhaustive Google search. Apparently it was an overpriced option that few Daimler owners went for at the time. The cat mascot made vision a problem even though it clearly was a status symbol!
Paul I found you a mascot if interested.
