The underside/back of the ornament is visibly marked BR16851, which matches current reference listings identifying BR16851 as an original 1954 Mercury hood ornament. This is a substantial vintage automotive piece with a long aerodynamic center section and sweeping wing-like elements. The ornament has its original vintage chrome appearance with the expected signs of age and previous use.
A great piece for a 1950s Mercury restoration, parts collection, automobilia display, or vintage automotive décor.
Please carefully compare the photos, mounting points, measurements and part number with your vehicle before purchasing. I have not independently verified exact vehicle trim/model compatibility beyond the BR16851 identification.
