Looking at the cost of replicas, yes it's worth something:

Looks around 1930's

or similar type originals

Search for (radiator) mascots not badges.

Oh Yes....that will be worth "SOMETHING".....and I bet if you went onto one of the Bentley web sites, you'd have some good offers on it.

I'm only guessing but I'd say it'll be worth over a hundred quid.
