It's on another local forum I frequent. The person would like some history and/or how much it would be worth. I've never seen anything like it. Neat though!

It looks foreign to me. What is the guy holding?? The cap looks english but the guy looks Italian. Hey what the heck, I am just trying to help.

What are they asking for it??

I think it's a flag he's holding? He's trying to figure out what it's worth before selling.

He almost looks like a train conductor. I'll take a wild guess from that and say maybe it's from a "Locomobile"?

Hmm, the boots are too tall for a train conductor! I would take a wild guess and offer that Eddie Rickenbacker (the world war one ace) put his name on a car in the 20's and this might be from that. Maybe taking a look at Rickenbacker in Google Images would turn up something.

I'm gonna guess that it's from a radiator. Yup, that's my final answer. :yes: :D
