Sy and Ronnie Margolis?s eclectic collection features a wide range of hood or fender ornaments, from about 1909 to recent times. Most date from the 1920s and 1930s, with many from the 1910s as well. In the early days of automobiles, wealthy owners would customize their vehicles with mascots to add beauty, make a political statement, identify with an organization or brand, or convey something about themselves. This collection offers a very wide selection of subject matter ? from playful to classical ? as petite statues: most mascots range from 4 to 9 inches in height and/or width. Reflecting the era of Art Deco design ? sleek and stylized ? there are numerous winged gods and goddesses, as well as more human women and men. Fauna are a popular subject matter, including animals (lion, ape, cat, dogs, panther, fox squirrel, seal, bunny, bear), birds (eagles and owl), and fish. Famous figures are widely represented, both real (Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon, Cleopatra, British Bobbies) and not (Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, Cupid, Cupie). Amusing mascots include a bulldog with a sore tooth, a golfing beetle, Jojo the Gnome, and a baby with a toothache (from the French Dental Association). Marking the excitement of early aviation and its pioneers, there are a number of early 20th-century car mascots featuring airplanes and/or Charles Lindbergh.
