This Superman hood ornament was manufactured by L.W. Lee Manufacturing in the 1940s. It was available in two sizes, 6" and 8", with the smaller one being harder to find. This one's a small one.
No, I'm not putting this on my car.

Thanks, guys! I don't have Les Daniels' book here in front of me, but I know it's in Harry Matetsky's.
Now I just need to get a base for it so I can display it. I may try to work up a repro of the box, too.Comment

Very cool but I gotta ask if I should ever come across one.....What do these things usually go for?"Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you."Comment

Might be cool to mount it on a base shaped like the Superman shield.Comment

Hard to say because they don't come up often. The last small loose one Hake's had went for $1150 with the buyer's premium. The larger one is a little more common (as far as 40s Superman stuff goes, but still rare)... the last one of those sold for over $500 at Hake's in 2010, and it was painted and repaired with putty.Comment
