Whatever was at the tip of the rising piece broke off.
Guess is that it was a model of the B-36 bomber.
This company was also called "Convair", for short.
Don't know why someone engraved numbers on the bottom...
It's cool that this was made in Los Angeles...
Some pictures of the B36 from the web...
6 prop engines and four jet engines.
Some of them also had a working nuclear reactor onboard (not for propulsion).
On the left is a B-29 for size comparison...
