The chrome looks like it might have small black imperfections all over and the insignia seems to have been very dirty before the seller washed it. Do others see the same thing or do the pictures look that way because he took really close up photos?

 Wild guess, it has a new residence on the hood of your car?

Looked like a nice piece at a fair price to me and I don't need any more.

Oh no ya' don't!  With a bargain like that you owe us at least a picture or two when it finally arrives and preferably photos when it finally gets its place in glory on the hood of your car!

Do have your camera ready on Saturday!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

P.S. Yeah, I know.  I owe you guys pictures of the restored hood ornament on my wagon, but I'm waiting for her engine to return before installing it.

That was certainly the best deal (price vs. condition) I've seen in a long time.

Nice replacement for the one that endured a lifetime of NY salt.  Great find!
