This is a copper acroterion (?) from New York City's Woolworth building. The piece most likely dates for the construction (1913) and was purchased in the mid 1970's in New York form an architectural salvage company. I inherited it fro my Father in 1988. It was appraised at the time by Sotheby's in New York for 500.00 dollars.
c. 27" tall x 15" in depth, roughly 8" wide
