I never tire of the great art deco mascots of the 20s and 30s. This design evolved over the years, changing details and design elements, but it appears it was originally designed first by designer Joseph E. Corker patent granted to Packard Motor Car Co. 7/12/1927, patent #73,026, exhibited on a Rollston cabriolet at the New York City Automobile show January 1926, Packard deluxe emblem known as the Packard "Goddess of Speed.
Based on Nike, the divine charioteer of Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Nike was a goddess who personified victory, also known as the Winged Goddess of Victory. The Roman equivalent was Victoria. Depending upon the time of various myths, she was described as the daughter of Pallas (Titan) and Styx (Water) and the sister of Kratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). Nike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titan War against the older deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame. Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings. Most other winged deities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times. Nike is the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a very close acquaintance of Athena, and is thought to have stood in Athena's outstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon. Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins. The shoe and sports equipment company Nike, Inc. is named after the Greek goddess Nike.
Happy 4th!!!!, and in that spirit, is it only me that thinks the face looks a lot like George Washington?

Odd art deco mascot, and I have seen it on 2 Delahayes and a Delage over the years. Don't know the maker or 'name' of the mascot but it is very distinctive. I like it but it is probably an acquired taste, and........OK i am more than a little eccentric. You can be very sure your neighbor doesn't have the identical one.
During the times...I want to show i support my Flag......only part of it, but all US America People knows what it is......We Honor it. Not in the manner that BLM does.
Class winning 1931 Chrysler Imperial Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron, with all the bells, whistles and Bling to set you well apart from the hoi-paloi in their Chevys and Fords.
Introduced for the 1931 model year, the Chrysler Series CG Imperial was larger, more powerful and more luxurious than its predecessor. Styled by Al Leamy, the Imperial CG borrowed heavily from the Leamy-designed Cord L-29, and featured a v-shaped radiator, an elongated hood, flowing fenders and a split windshield with a steeper rake than the Cord. Amenities included passenger sun visors, adjustable seats, an adjustable steering column, hydraulic brakes, vibration-dampening rubber engine mounts, rust-proofed body and fenders, and laminated safety glass.
Starting at 'only' $3,575 for a LeBaron dual-cowl phaeton, full-custom options hiked the price significantly higher. Given the state of the U.S. economy in 1931, it’s not surprising that a mere 85 LeBaron dual-cowl phaetons were ordered by customers.
Power for all CG Imperials came from a new 384.83-cu.in. straight-eight L-head engine, rated at 125 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The dash from 0 to 60 MPH took in the neighborhood of 20 seconds, and the plus-size Imperial, which measured 17 feet from stem to stern, was reportedly capable of hitting 96 MPH.

Without looking up online the identification of this flag does anyone recognise it and know the whereabouts of part of my recent holiday. Bear in mind that the direction of the wind has turned the flag 180 degrees. I certainly wouldn't have known this flag.
I will be back on Flickr tomorrow.
I loved the puzzle shapes of the branches, against a gorgeous blue sky, flying four flags from the Tulip Festival!

Well here is something that caught my eye as I walked down to the shops , there has often been a flag flying here - sometimes the Union or Union Jack , sometimes the Ukraine Flag , sometimes the England Flag , but today I note it is a flag of Remembrance .
Try as I might , the wind was not playing ball and if it was not laying wrapped on the flag pole it was at best just a gentle flutter in the breeze , so I did not get a straight out view of the flag to see the whole image properly . There was one that showed the flag straighter but the " Lest We Forget " part was folded over and hidden . So take as you view it and remember the poignant message it makes .
I have taken quite a few shots here , including the one where the wind was blowing in two different directions at once and on another occasion when " Heathrow Had A Problem "
I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.

Remembering the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers today, on Memorial Day. This series is from the Flags In ceremony with IGDC on Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery. You can see the main gallery on my @Livingwf8 Instagram account.
Couldn't resit these flags in the sun and the breeze, I think they are some sort of markers for the fishing boats.
