Brockway Motor Truck Company Huskie Hood Ornament

Original Brockway Motor Truck Co. Brass Huskie Hood Ornament (1958-1977)   This early Brockway hood ornament features a Huskie dog wearing a pulling harness. The earlier models of the hood ornament don't have the BROCKWAY logo on the harness strap. The 1962, 14K gold-plated huskie hood ornament had replaced the silver huskie hood ornamet to celebrate Brockway's fiftieth year in business. The surface bears some pitting: a badge of loyalty shown trudging through many long journeys. The original gold tone shows wearing with some traces of paint persisting. There are no cracks or chips.  Brockway Motor Truck Co.: 1912-1977 Brockway Trucks have their beginnings in the founding of the Brockway Carriage Works in Homer, NY, in 1875. It grew to become one of the largest carriage makers in the country. With the death of the original founder, William N. Brockway in 1889, his son, George, took over the business and gradually transformed it into the renowned truck manufacturer it came to be. George
