Probably one of the nicest NOS hood emblems you'll find.  The chrome is excellent...probably as good as can be expected for 1950's GM chrome.  There are a couple flaws i could hardly get a picture of.  A ripple at the top center, a line of some sort under the left overhang.  Hardly noticeable.  The insert is bright and vibrant.  I would not hesitate to put this on a concours show car (if i had one).  The box has seen better days, both ends are missing, but it is still mostly intact. Before you bid, make sure it is proper for your application, and look at the pictures closely.
