Hood Ornaments?

I got two hood ornaments with a truck I recently bought.
What are they?
What are they worth?

Neither of them are likely worth much in their poor condition, especially the 50's Ford unit pictured in your bottom photo. It's very likely reproduced. The top one looks familiar, but I can't place it. Is there a design on the front of it that would provide a clue?

The bottom one is from a mid-late 50s Ford. I have one in better shape. I can't even get $15 for it at a swap meet. The top one could be an aftermarket from JC Whitney.

The one in the top photo has the number '8' on a plaque attached to the front. My guess is maybe late 1940's???

The 8 would likely denote 8 cyl. I would agree late 40s to maybe early-mid 50s.

Pot metal is notoriously difficult to repair and plate. So, the up front purchase price is very low. I would suggest that you shine them up and make wall art for your garage. Jag
