AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and original mascot of the iconic automaker Armstrong Siddeley from England.
It is the famous Sphinx mascot, probably made of a type of solid plastic.
In good condition, on a wooden base.
Intended for the dealer / salesperson's desk
Probably from around the 1950s
Armstrong Siddeley was a British engineering firm, founded in 1919 and best known for manufacturing luxury vehicles and aircraft engines. It was formed through the merger of Armstrong Whitworth and Siddeley-Deasy, a manufacturer of luxury cars for the privileged few. Car production ceased in August 1960, after which the company was incorporated into the Rolls-Royce group, which was interested in the aircraft and aircraft engine industry.
In 1912, a journalist described a Siddeley-Deasy with a Silent Knight slide-valve engine as 'as silent and inscrutable as the Sphinx.'
John Siddeley was charmed by it and adopted it as a mascot and logo for his cars, originally sitting, and from 1931 lying down.
The foot measures 40 by 17.5 cm.
The height is 13.5 cm.
Weight 1.1 kilograms
