Please note the condition – there is loose stitching around the brim, one of the embellishments is hanging off, and the leather interior is badly cracked. It’s also quite dusty. I’ve pictured all of these things for your consideration, so please see the pics. This is a great piece of history for the collector. I could not find another Tardan hat of this age.
Rare Antique Children Carousel Zebra, Germany early 20th Century. A wooden carved children’s carousel zebra with multicolored painting, made in Germany around 1910. Unrestored original condition, partially painted over, signs of use due to age, some old repairs – see pictures, cut on the left rear leg where it was attached to the carousel. A great idea for your interior decoration. The first carousel horses were created in the 18th century for the entertainment of aristocrats. The enthusiasm spread to broad sections of the population and the Vienna Prater was opened with a carousel in 1766. Germany developed into a center of carousel construction. Famous manufacturers included Friedrich Heyn, Hermann Thümmel, Karl Müller and Fritz Botmann. The artfully carved horses and classic carriages were supplemented with exotic animals such as lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras and elephants. Pioneers of the first generation of showmen in the United States were Gustav A. Loof and Frank Hrubetz, who designed and constructed great rides. The world wars of the 20th century meant the end of carousel art. Many originals were destroyed and replaced by plastic copies.
