Carved Wooden Carousel Frog Figure 29\" Herschell-Spillman Style? Unverified For Sale

Absolutely incredible carved wooden carousel-style frog figure with striking glass eyes and an amazing amount of character.

This large and unusual piece stands approximately 29 inches tall including the base and pole, while the frog itself measures approximately 17\" x 17\".

The design is reminiscent of the famous Herschell-Spillman “Hop Toad” carousel figures, which is why I am describing it as Herschell-Spillman Style. However, I have no documentation, provenance, authentication, or expert appraisal confirming that this piece was actually made by Herschell-Spillman or that it was ever used on a carousel.

I also cannot confirm the age of this piece. It has an aged appearance and wonderful vintage character, but I do not know whether it is an original older figure, a later reproduction, or a decorative piece made in the style of an earlier carousel figure. Please make your own determination based on the photographs and details provided.

The frog has beautiful carved details, expressive glass eyes, and an incredible presence. It is definitely a unique and unusual statement piece.

Please examine ALL photos carefully before offerding. The photographs are an important part of the description and should be considered carefully when evaluating the item\'s age, authenticity, construction, condition, and repairs.

Approximate measurements:
• Overall height: 29\" including base and pole
• Frog: approximately 17\" x 17\"

This is an unusual, eye-catching piece with tons of personality that could be a fantastic addition to a collection of carousel-style figures, carved wooden folk art, Americana, amusement memorabilia, or unusual decorative pieces.

Please offer based on your own assessment of the item. No authentication or expert appraisal is being represented or implied.
