Brass, nickel plated mascot, unsigned (as was the norm with the earlier examples) sitting on its 20th century ebonised plinth base, with handwritten label below reading ''Alvis 1250 1926”. The mascot clearly visible in the photograph.
Height of hare 115mm.
Height in total including the base 155mm.
The photograph including the frame 25cm x 19.5cm.
Notes: There have been several designs for the Alvis hare, the earliest is often called “Big Paws” his feet are very broad, and the ears are longer and broader than later mascots, these earlier models were in brass, sometimes nickel plated as with this example.
The later hares, from 1928, were made by A E Lejeune, marked AEL, and chrome plated. The mascot company Louis Lejeune still today manufactures the later Alvis hare mascot.
