Thanks guys.

Here we have the car and a close up of the hood ornament.

I think a green check is in order here.

It might be worth the effort to clean and rechrome.. $?

I'd do it. Mount it on a nice block of wood and put in my game room. I love some of that Art Deco period stuff and this is surely a piece of that stuff. Very cool find, no idea on $ value.
