An Extremely Rare 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Mascot
Sold for £1,125
(including buyers premium)
A magnificent Edwardian Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy mascot for the 40/50HP six cylinder Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost automobile, this being the rarest type, produced for only 6 months back in 1911, having various correct period dating features including the hollow under base area & most importantly the words 'Rolls-Royce Limited 6th FEBRUARY 1911' around the base area, as opposed to all other Ghost mascots which read 'Rolls-Royce Ltd FEB 1911'. This rare mascot features the signature of Charles Sykes across the top of the base area and no under-wing markings, which is correct on all pre-World War One examples. A stunning and impressive item of the very finest detail, deep original pre-war nickel-silver plated finish on bronze base metal, mounting stud and fittings, mounted to a display base.
