looks like a broken hood ornament, circa 1930's

Great guess its hard for me to see it well is there a spot where a cable would have attached to it

I think it came off of an art deco ashtray. to me it is not leaning the right way for a hood ornament, it leans back instead of forward. I looked at a bunch of ornaments and ashtrays but haven't seen an exact match .

I can't help but wonder if it's not sitting against the base of ashtray it came off of ?

I agree with Jewelerguy. Looks like it could be part of a broken hood ornament.
