Even if they are after-market they are worth $$$. They look like they are in perfect shape. Are they mounted on stands?
I like all of the cool old car stuff you are posting.

 Thx.  Actually the stands are the plastic lids from spray paint cans. 
Yeah some neat things including these hood ornaments.  (My favorites being the old Park Passes.)  There is a nicer ornament as well of a swan of sorts that I believe came off his school friends MG.  I think I've just tracked down the school friends son (now living in Kansas).  I'm going to send it to him along with a photo of his Dad's car with it on it.

Carl, my Dad also had some old Esquire calendars that my brother chucked out before I got to them (along with the old War Amp key tags.  I lucked out and got the '66's to go with my car though.)  Also I've got a couple of old mags that have the odd Morris Minor reference being sent your way later this week.

Thanks for the feedback guys...

Dave, here's one that you might enjoy. A mailer from a local dealership from '58.  Looks like it was to be folded in quarters, although this one has never been folded.

How about post cards that used a single 1 cent stamp? A number of those. Also an old Winchester from 1905.
