Description
“I never thought I’d like a Border Terrier. That is until I got one a few years ago, and now I not only love the breed, but it’s my favorite breed. They are infrequently seen in the US and our dog’s mother came from Scotland. But they are very popular in the UK. If you want to look at possibly adopting one of these adorable critters, go to Border Terrier Rescue and Adoption on Facebook for starters.” SA
Border Terrier Hood Ornament – Dimensions: 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
Louis Lejeune car and truck hood ornaments are a work of art. They are cast in solid bronze by a team of craftsman using sand casting or the lost-wax method. All are cast and finished using the traditional materials and techniques Louis Lejeune has been famous for since 1910. Each statue that makes a hood ornament (car mascot) features the artisan’s unfailing attention to detail and high quality.
The most popular and standard finish is a stunning chrome plate over bronze.
Most bases are about 1/4″ thick. The hood ornament is attached by bolts to the hood of the car, and the mounting hardware is included with each one. However, some hood ornaments can be attached by magnets, while some are not suitable for magnets. Please let us know if you are interested in this option.
Not all Louis Lejeune chrome-plated over bronze hood ornament models are in stock, due to the fact that there are many of them and demand for some is rarer than others. If this model is not in stock, please allow about 3-10 weeks to finish.
If this model is in stock, please allow about 1-3 days to ship. Ships overnight from the UK to the US.
