Item Description
Made by L. W. Lee Mfg. Co. c. 1946, this solid cast metal ornament, which could be used for either automobiles or bicycles, has company name and NCP copyright on underside of cape. Came in different sizes w/chrome (see following item #2137) or gold finish. This is gold luster version measuring 5.5" long from back of heel to tip of fist and is 6" tall. Great action pose of Superman taking off for flight w/cape flowing behind. Underside of cape has tiny spot missing gold luster w/silver underplating showing but this is as made and overall does not affect the appearance at all. Ornament exhibits just the tiniest traces of aging/wear that is only noticeable upon close inspection and retains near 100% full vibrant gold luster and is an unused and NM example. Comes w/rare 4x6.75x2.75" deep box (complete w/original packing paper) which shows illustration of hood ornament and has NCP and Superman logos. Box is aged but tight w/corner tip/edge wear. Fine. Very few boxed ornaments are known and this is only the second example we have offered in our 49 years. A very striking piece. Franco Toscanini Collection.
