Catalogue Note
Last Operated at Edgewater Park, Detroit, Michigan. Since carousel animals were hand carved, the figures varied based on the individual carver's expertise. This rabbit is a prime example of Gustav Dentzel's master carvers at their peak. The finely detailed fur and exceptionally good proportions make this one of the best rabbits to come out of the Dentzel company.
