Description
This is an authentic vintage (c. 1974) Louis Lejeune “Standing Hippo” hood ornament made in England, where it is called a “mascot.” It has a beautiful chrome finish, and is in excellent condition. This mascot was a retirement gift for my grandfather from Loos & Co where he worked for over 25 years -- hence the additional inscription on the bottom. He loved hippos and loved having this piece proudly displayed on his convertible hood. There are a few specks of oxidation on the platform sides that can be easily cleaned. No pitting. Approx 2” high / 4.25” long / 1.5” wide. Solid and heavy – approx 27 ounces. Comes with bolts that were used for mounting. You can research Louis Lejeune to find out more about their company history and the Standing Hippo mascot.
