An original Armstrong-Siddeley ‘Rocket Sphinx’ hood ornament used on Sapphire-346 model cars from 1953-1958. Casting mark ‘JF’. Original brass nuts. Marble base not included.
Armstrong-Siddeley manufactured both cars and rocket engines in the 1950s and they were combined into this unique hood ornament for Sapphire model cars.
The ornament is in excellent condition. It is not bent, broken or repaired. The chrome is still bright & shiny.
There is some bubbling and light scratches in the chrome and a couple of small pits. Nevertheless, it presents very well - far better than most examples I’ve seen over the years.
Please look at all the photos closely to determine condition for yourself and ask any questions before bidding or purchase. No returns.
