Description

The Duke of York aboard the Blists Hill Gallopers, 1924.

ca, 1890 Anderson-of-Bristol Cockerel – SOLD

Very rare figure as these Anderson cockerels are unique to the famous Blists Hill Gallopers, ridden by King George VI in 1924. No other ride ever had this design of cockerel. The ca. 1890 Anderson-of-Bristol gallopers still exists and resides at the Victorian museum in Ironbridge, England, with all of the original figures but for two cockerels and one horse replaced by a chariot. Full documentation available.

Located in the UK.
