VA Case Hood Trim

Today at a tractor show I saw a Case tractor that had a piece of wood in the hood ormament. I commented to a friend that it looked odd and he told me that his family had a VAC with the same ornament, Was this a war time effort to conseve materials?
 
That was the handle for the hood latch. Everything from frying pans to pitchforks had wooden handles back then. If the hood was proped open you would have found another ash or oak stick bolted to the hood and proping the hood open. Back in the day simplicity was the norm, not the suficitated made in China crap we have today.
