Additional Information: We’ve been asked if the skittles are the exact original ones that came with this exact container. There is no way we can guarantee this, they are antique and of the correct style and are a spectacular set. FABULOUS ROOSTER SKITTLE SET. Extremely large brightly multi-colored papier mache rooster with glass eyes riding on four cast iron wheels painted gold cradling a nine pin set in the form of chicks. Chicks are dressed as clowns; they are nestled in the rooster in the original excelsior. Breathtaking set of skittles. The set looks like it has hardly ever been played with if at all. SIZE: 19-1/2″ l x 15-1/2″ t. CONDITION: The rooster’s colors are bright and vibrant shows almost no wear. Typically these delicate works of art exhibit considerable damage, however, this example is simply extraordinary. A couple of minor chips on one side and a slight old crack on the left side. The Peeps are dirty but most are in near excellent condition. One would be hard pressed to find a better example. If you need a skittle this is the one. 1-12471 (8,000-10,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Fall 2012 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
