The Roaring ’20s were in a full-throated roar when the esteemed French jewelry designer and glassmaker René Jules Lalique (1860-1945) decided to introduce a line of Art Deco-inspired car hood ornaments that were dubbed car mascots. The basic idea wasn’t new; auto companies had been putting identifying badges, or ornaments, on the front center portion of the hoods of cars almost since the inception of the car itself. They were just waiting for the magic of René Lalique.
