Hello,
I am looking for a 1935 Huson hood ornament. the back of mine is broken and my chrome plater said he could repair it if I found a donor he could cut the back off. Or I just need to find one that is not broken. See pictures of my broken one

There are at least 3 on eBay right now0

Toddh, thank you. none of the ones on ebay have the flare on the back end that I need. maybe there are different ones out there. I am not up on all the different years.

It's different from my 1934 Hudson mascot base.
Suggestion - as you still have one side unbroken, why not use epoxy putty to model and contour the broken side to match ?
That would allow you to make a mould to cast a new one - and would probably cost less than buying an original.0 -
There must be a problem with the back RH corner of the 35H hood ornaments.

Bummer. Yes, looks like we both suffer from the same issue.0

Will check when I get home tonight. I may have a decent back half.

Thank you Sir. That would be great.0

found the box last night. looks like i was remembering a broken '35 base, when I actually have a broken '34 base and, as you can see from the photo, the tails of the bases are different.0

Anyone have a reference for a company that does cloisonné work? Sadly, the previous owner blasted mine.

Maybe I am missing something here. If the plater can use two to make a good one why not have them add material to the broken corner and file it to shape. I am sure this is pot metal but if he can combine two why can he not just add the material? I know trying to repair pot metal is a challenge but a good tig welder should be able to make the repair. Just sayin’0

Give it 5 years or so and there will be software out there to scan an item and replicate it by a 3d printer without any experience...(3d for dummies) you'd probably be able to build any vintage car by that stage ...waiting for someone to announce a complete 3d car ...it has to happen surely0

The nameplate is really enameled. Look up Karla Maxwell (google her) she is out west somewhere. She's redone the medallion for many Hudson people, including me. Does a very good job. There are already people who can scan your part, even a broken part, put it back together in a CAD file, then have it printed by 3D printers. You can also print one cheaply in plastic first for a test fit, then print the one to use in metal. Let me know if you want a referral to someone who can do this for you.0

Thank you Mike!

Hello,
I am still on the lookout for a 1935 hudson hood ornament. I am just looking for the base portion. I have the bird that goes on top. Please let me know if anyone has one or at a minimum, the back half of one that is not broken like mine.
