Pewter automobile mascot featuring a bulldog for MACK road tractors (dents and oxidation). Marked DESIGN PATENT 07931. Circa 1960. Height Height : 11 cm Mounted on a black-painted wooden base. Note: In 1917, the United States entered the war. They had around 4,500 Mack Trucks AC models. Legend has it that British soldiers were so impressed by this indestructible 6-ton truck that they nicknamed it "Bulldog Mack". The animal was adopted as the brand's emblem in 1922, but Mack the Bulldog (as it is known) was designed by engineer Alfred Masury in 1932. Over time, the dog's function changed from radiator ornament to handle. His ears and tail were shortened in 1979 to prevent accidents when opening the hood.
