Following my August 14, 2013, posting, a friend sent me a link to an article on the BornRich website about one-of-a-kind custom Rolls Royce mascots, which pictured the above "Naughty Lady" hood ornament from David Robson's 1912 Silver Ghost. She is clearly a copy of Ms. #442, down to the incised design on the dress and the textured base. I wonder if the artist in fact made the mold directly from a Schafer and Vater piece. Maybe I should contact Mr. Robson about commissioning one for my car, but I doubt she would present quite the same panache on the hood of a 2001 Toyota Echo.
