The art deco bird looks like it was inspired by the bird's heads on the Chrysler Building.

And looking through those images online I came across a picture of an AH Fox with that very Chrysler bird head... very nice to look at.

I saved the image to file but can't post it here for some reason but if someone cares to send me a PM I will email the image so it can be posted here.... that is, if anyone's interested.
