Rare 8″ Antique Wooden Schoenhut Circus/Roosevelt Safari Toy Monkey/Gorilla Doll

Rare 8″ Antique Wooden Schoenhut Circus/Roosevelt Safari Toy Monkey/Gorilla Doll

Rare


This 8 inch, antique, wooden gorilla was used in both Schoenhut’s Circus and Teddy Roosevelt’s Safari sets. Having a replaced or repainted head with new leather ears, he is well-strung, and exactly as pictured. Brown in color, the paint of his body does appear to be original. His unique features include separate thumbs and similar projections on the inside of each foot. Ingenious slits beneath his pink-soled feet allow him to climb and be posed in numerous ways. Unfortunately, neither the cage nor Lila, the misfit inside, are included in the sale.

Domestic and international shipping costs can be calculated under SHIPPING below. International buyers that do not have a history of purchase with me should know that any item (or combination of items) that ends with a value greater than 75 USD, will be shipped via trackable Priority or Express International Mail only. If you have a question about shipping costs, please ask before bidding. Also, please allow international packages 30 days to arrive as customs may delay delivery.

If you have the choice between Priority or parcel post, you would be wise to choose Priority Mail, especially if the item is fragile or expensive. The speed and special handling of Priority packages, does help to ensure a much safer and FASTER trip for valued items. Thank you.
