An all original Plymouth radiator cap or hood ornament used on 1931 PA and 1932 PB model cars.
The cap was manufactured by the Jarvis company and has the casting mark ‘983 Jarvis J” on bottom (see last photo).
The “Little Mermaid on the Waves” design was created by Avard T. Fairbanks while at the University of Michigan.
Overall, the cap is in very nice condition. It is not bent, broken or repaired. The detail is still sharp. The head and breast regions are nearly blemish-free. The wings are fully intact - not ‘trimmed’.
The metal is not pitted but the chrome has flaked in some areas (e.g., inside and top of wings, etc.) along with some micro-bubbling ‘sparkles’ especially on the flat surface of the cap.
Please look at all the photos closely to determine condition for yourself and ask any questions before bidding or purchase. No returns.
