I'm pretty sure this first find is an early 1930's Packard hood ornament, but can anyone tell me what kind of bullet this is?

I have no idea, but I'm joining in to find out because I have had a few. I guessed they were early 20th C hand-gun

Looks like .45ACP caliber to me. Full metal jacket too.

I'm going with .45 caliber on the bullet also. But I really like that hood ornament.

That bullet is a .45, and I know this because that looks almost exactly like one I dug.
