Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Jacques Cartier Elephant Car Mascot ca 1925 A fantastic original nickeled bronze car mascot by Jacques Cartier circa 1925. This is from a series of animal form car mascots he did at the time, this one is the elephant. The elephant itself measures about 4 1/2 inches tall by 6 1/2 inches wide. On the base the overall size is about 9 inches tall and weighs about 9 pounds. Described in the book of “Mascottes Automobiles” by Michael LeGrand Page 193 Plate 686. “JAQUES CARTIER” is marked on the base. *** In trying to respond to someone's questions I reached out to the prior owner of this car mascot. I was told that he had upgraded the base to the marble base and that the original base was the wooden one shown in the last photo. I got that base and it will be included with this lot as well. Now you have a choice, small wood base or large marble base. We have been selling on eBay for over 25 years and have launched this ID as a separate business to compliment our website. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Priority Mail shipping in the US. Buyer pay actual shipping costs. Good luck with your bid! Gold standards in most countries are 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k. These are averages and while a piece may be marked 14k please be aware that the gold content itself could have a variance of up to 1.5k. This means something marked 14k could be in a range from 12.5k to 15.5k. This is especially true of vintage pieces as technology wasn?t as precise. With gemstones, we guarantee everything described as a diamond has been tested. With colored gemstones however, particularly when small secondary stones, we make our best efforts to be accurate in the description but there could be some variance as to what the stone is. Colored stones of nominal value and semi-precious stones can?t be accurately tested unless sent to an organization such as GIA. If you have any concerns about colored stones in a specific piece, please contact us before bidding.
