History Trying to ID a hood ornament or radiator cap?

Trying to ID this for a friend. Very well may be after market but not sure. Says Jarvis 1/4 20 on bottom. I know Jarvis made radiator caps but can't find this one anywhere. He has had it for about 40 years.

 

Gorgeous! Might be 1/4 20 is the mounting bolt size? Looks about right.

 

Desoto, early 30's

 

The one you have pictured is nicer than this one;

Big bucks!

 

Wow ! Pretty rare ornament! Thanks guys. 1932

 

Wow, your buddy made out pretty good. That, or he has a pretty valuable paper weight.

 

He thought it was a Pakard ornament when he bought years ago.

 

Looks like a Pierce Arrow

 

Looks to be very different than the one on ebay, very beautiful nonetheless.
