RM Auctions is handling the sale, which will take place on March 10 in Florida as part of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance automotive charity event. The collection is expected to fetch $800,000 to $1.2 million.
The complete set of 30 glass figures will come with a lighted, climate-controlled display case. The collection was owned by auto collector Ele Chesney, who bought them 12 years ago for $550,000. Since then, she has replaced some less pristine figures with better examples, improving the collection’s value.
Hood ornaments began appearing shortly after automobiles started to be mass produced. Owners would decorate or individualize their vehicles by topping the radiator cap with small metal figures. The most famous of all hood ornaments was the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy — or the Flying Lady — dating from 1911.
