Hood ornament?

[niffler]

Hi, my brother found this. I think it is a hood ornament, but what kind? Also any ideas about who might collect something like this? Thanks, Niffler

Yeah, cheese, that's really close. My thoughts when I first saw it was "Flying J", but searching on the net got me nowhere. What cars or truck makers start with J?
