It's a 1949 (the link posted is incorrectly listed as a '48). 1949 was the first year for the amber insert which was illuminated.
Your ornament appears to have been trimmed in both front and back. Not sure there is much value to it because of that other than someone who would be looking for the amber insert. If the hood ornament was intact then it may be worth up to $350 if in mint condition (if one can find a buyer) but I do not have any pricing reference on just the insert.

Hope this helps.
