Eisenacher

Thanks to Gary, this ornament has been identified as that of an Eisenacher car (Automobilwerk Eisenach [AWE] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobilwerk_Eisenach ), which was located in East Germany. Although I can't find any images of an ornament like this, I did find a badge from this manufacturer with the same figure featured, albeit in a different pose.

Another stylish badge posted today:

So cool! I would love to have one of those in my collection. Very nicely captured, Helen. ~V~

Beautiful image perspective Helen vote

A beautiful ornament but the attachment is poor. A photo well taken showing the contours of the ornament very well.

Wonderful details and colors Helen...BV

Seeing the riveting, I would say it was fixed later and probably this car is not in its original condition. Your image is awesome! V

A very fine composition with all these brilliant silver tones.
... Absolutely no idea about the car ! V.

Magnifique... Mais je ne sais pas de quelle marque il s’agit. V

That is such a neat hood ornament! Wonderful photo of it! V

Love the figure and clear details of this hood mascot...yes, probably defines the manufacturer as they all had their own trademark icons ...V

Beautifully photographed Helen! The background compliments the subject so well!

Nice shot of this interesting hood ornament. I think it is not original to the car, and therefore can no help to identify it. "V"

A very interesting ornament and great use of DOF. V

It is gorgeous, so shiny and lovely. An elegant hood ornament! V

You are correct, Helen. Eisenach Motor Works (EMW) was a pre WWII East German manufacturer of autos and motorcycles. They had some problems with their logo (not the one shown here) strongly resembling that of BMW. This is great capture of the front end figure, truly a unique one. It reminds me in a way of Hermes (or the Roman equivalent, Mercury). V!

I think Citroen, but don't know enough about them to say which, but try

A nice image, Helen! Its not a Toyota! :))
Martin Lamoon06-Apr-2013 20:16
Interesting, but it looks like it was added as an afterthought. It seems to be riveted to the car! V

Well captured, Helen. Sorry I can't help with identifying the vehicle. V.

Cannot help with the name but the figure is really beautiful as is your shot with that DOF.V
