Description

Circa 1905 Dentzel Pig from Disneyland – SOLD

CONDITION: Very old chipped paint. Seam separations. Part of one ear and tail missing, and his tusks are gone. Scratch on saddle. Hind feet were reattached at one point.

*The Dentzel carousel at Disneyland is all jumping horses and is known to be a merging of two main Dentzel carousels with additional Dentzel carousels/figures acquired from other machines. As Walt wanted only jumping horses, standing horses were given new legs and converted to jumpers while menagerie figures were discarded. Some were given to employees while others were sold in Disneyland shops or elsewhere.
