Re: Altered hood ornament, was this popular back then?

Hi Bob,
I can't comment on whether the goddess and cormorant were common combinations. Please don't take offfense, but to me it isn't very attractive. Also, philosophically, seems odd to have two themes on the same ornament. If it were me, I would go with one or the other, but not both.
I have a rather similar situation with my '47 Clipper. A cormorant was added to the "spear". I am not certain if in the day this was common, or "authorized" but I have seen others like it, and to me the spear and bird don't seem to clash, stylistically. Picture attached, (I hope!).
By the way, if you decide to go with a goddess, I have one in decent but not perfect shapte that I bought in error that I would be willing to part with for what I paid.
