Car mascot & bonnet ornament auctions: chrome mascots, searched at once

A genuine period car mascot, whether a marque badge like a Jaguar leaper or an independent radiator cap ornament, is easy to confuse with the many later reproductions on the market, and maker's marks, casting quality and original mounting bracket all matter far more to value than size or subject alone.

Why car mascot lots get missed

General collectables sellers sometimes list a genuine period mascot simply as "chrome car ornament" without naming the marque or noting original bracket and fixings, so an authentic, sought-after example can sit unrecognised inside an ordinary-looking listing.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search "car mascot," a marque name, or "bonnet ornament" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "car mascot bonnet ornament": a genuine chrome Jaguar vintage motor car mascot bonnet hood ornament with its original bracket, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: catch a genuine marque mascot before it's gone

The best original marque mascots sell within hours of listing, so save a search (a marque, a maker, or "car mascot" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching mascot lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.
