    Description

    This is a new, reproduction plastic jet plane or rocket front fender ornament, made to the same size and shape as the plastic jet fender ornament found on the 1960's AMF Discoverer and Explorer models.
    It mounts to the fender with two screws (included). The distance between the screw holes, center to center, is about 31mm.
    Length is 140mm.  Width at the widest point is about 55mm
    The fender ornament was recreated from a large fragment of the original, combined with an original 1960's advertisement photo showing the fender ornament.  These fender ornaments are only found as fragments (I would be surprised if there is an intact original in the whole universe), so there was a bit of extrapolation required to recreate it.  The 4th and 5th photos show the reproduction next to the fragment and the last photo is the advertisement photo.  The reproduction is much sturdier than the original.
    Please note that this is not a "chrome plated" finish but is a painted finish.  I wish I could do real plastic chrome plating but then this would cost far more than anyone would ever pay.
    Thanks for looking!
