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 National Comic Publications copyright on underside of cape. Came in different sizes with chrome 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 with cape flowing behind. Top back edge of cape has .5” spot missing gold luster with silver underplating showing but this is as made and overall does not affect the appearance at all. O/w ornament has full vibrant gold luster and is an unused and Mint example. Comes with all hardware and even the original packing paper. Comes with rare 4x6.75x2.75” deep box which shows illustration of hood ornament and has National Comic Publications and Superman logos. Box is aged but tight with only the slightest corner tip wear and is Fine. Very few boxed ornaments are known and this is the first we have ever offered. A very striking piece. (M - $5000 to $10000)
