Back to the initial question.
Russs, does the workmanship look factory? Take it off and look at the back side. Do the holes in the hood look nice and clean, with no burrs? Is the back side of the ornament smooth and clean?
It would be relatively easy to reproduce, but making a mold from scratch for a one off would be a relatively expensive project. What is your serial number/?Have you checked with Ron Irwin to see what your car history is? If he has a good history on your car he might know about the ornament. (He told me mine had 14 inch chrome wheels installed about 1952, and the name of the guy who did it.)

I once helped strip and part out a 1937 Berline many years ago and sent the rear divided and window and the intercom system out to a good friend club member in California. That Berline had the center and cowl hood strip and I thought it looked UGLY.
I believe I have seen both here in California. The top of the hood mascot is not attractive for my taste. I did like the Berline divider when I saw it.

So it the attached page in this reply. Note the demister fan has a basic case where as in the Cord Factory Accessories the demister fan is described as being "handsomely streamlined trimmed in chrome and can be finished to harmonise with car colour schemes."
I feel the hood ornament on Russ's Cord has been made up by a subsequent owner.

My copy of the bulletins is missing #s 1,2, 8, 19 and 21 for the time period of the 810's. It is possible that it could be described in one of those bulletins.
I checked at the museum last Sept. and they also didn't have copies of those bulletins or at least couldn't couldn't locate them. If anyone has copies of those numbers I would like to get them.
Is your project an 810 or 812?
