Hood ornament

[superj]

or maybe its a tail spinner instead of a nose spinner?

Yes. Turns out to be an AN-M100A2 bomb tail fuze.

So . . . perhaps I should mount this to the rear - on the Reese hitch rear cover.

great idea!

Mounted the bomb tail fuse where it belongs on the '02 Ranger:

Free to spin as well.

I vote for this one from a 50 Ford

That’s off an early 50’s Buick. Had one on my 50 Special.

You'll get pulled over and detained while the bomb squad takes your vehicle to a quiet little out of the way place and blows it up

I feel there are very few hood ornaments that would look right on a Ranger. They belong on vintage vehicles.
