Original Gold Mack Truck Bull Dog 1,387,477
Up for bid is the "MACK" (marked at collar, under chin) BULLDOG HOOD ORNAMENT (marked "DESIGN PATENT 1,387,477" at chest), as seen in the pictures / as described in the title.
Excellent condition with NO major defects whatsoever and superb, rich patina throughout. I believe it is made of cast steel (very dense & heavy).

This is one of the most recognized American Icons and would be perfect for your restoration project or to display in any garage, den, bar or man cave. It would make a great gift for the Trucker on your list!
I was able to find four on Ebay ranging between $75-$190 not including shipping costs. If you would be interested in GIN, please send me a message before any bids are placed.
The Mack truck company's trademark is the bulldog. It is found on the front of almost all Mack trucks. A Mack truck with a gold-plated bulldog means that the entire truck is made of Mack components. Trucks with another manufacturer's transmission, engine, rear axles or suspension are given the chrome-plated bulldog.
