HJ Hood Ornament
« on: January 26, 2018, 11:56:15 AM »
Can anyone provide me with a photo of a 1951 HJ Hood Ornament?
I think I have on in good shape, and I will sell it if I can guarantee its identity.

It's a '51 hood ornament.  Looks like Henry J but because the '51 Henry J ornament was a smaller version of the '51 Kaiser ornament, I often see them mistaken for one another - especially on ebay.  The difference is the '51 Kaiser ornament measures 21" tip to tip where the '51 Henry J ornament is about 16" tip to tip.  The proportions usually give it away as the base on the Kaiser ornament is larger in proportion than the Henry J ornament.

Here's the '51 Kaiser ornament:


Here is the '51 Henry J ornament:

Edgar Kaiser's custom 1951 Henry J
1951 Kaiser Special
1952 Allstate Deluxe

Thanks everyone,
I sold the item for $120.00 to another club member.  Not a perfect piece, but very good for its age.
