About the maker -

MACK® Trucks Inc. was founded in 1900 under the name of Mack Brothers Company in the USA.

They started using the bulldog in the early 1920's after their reputation in World War I.

The primary function of this item was either a handle for the hood or as a handle for the radiator cap, then an iconic hood ornament. It also served and still serves as an advertising mascot.
