Item Description
Matched pair of painted composition displays w/high relief design. Pinocchio is 13.5x24x3" deep while Figaro and Cleo is 12.5x18x3" deep. Each reverse has 1939 copyright and marked "Old King Cole Inc." premiere manufacturer of Disney store displays (see promotional folder for this company #1761). Front edge of base has simulated carved wood design w/raised character name(s) and recessed text "From Walt Disney's Pinocchio." Pinocchio has a few minor touchups to stress lines on the reverse. Yellow paint on hat and shirt, white collar have minor darkening due to age and dust but nothing detracts much. About one-third of the underneath base on which the figure sits has been rebuilt. The entire underneath surface has been repainted w/rebuilding and recoloring barely distinguishable from the original areas. On Figaro and Cleo the top two-thirds of Cleo's top fin has been expertly rebuilt. This one also about one-third of the underneath base on which the figure sits expertly rebuilt. Overall appearance of both remains Fine. Very impressive display pieces and the only examples we've seen.
