    LOCAL SALE AND PICKUP IS OBVIOUSLY PREFERRED
    I am willing to hold it for you if you need to make arrangements for pickup like in your travels or a relative or hired pickup
    i had wanted MUCH more - but things have to move out...   00 is it.. bottom line
    --------------------------------------------------------
    purchased years ago from a family in Potomac MD
    their family was in part ownership of the Ringling Bros / Barnum and Bailey Circus and the Texas Rangers --  i can not varify and have no paperwork or firm knowledge that this was from the circus (i was told it was.... but at this point that is all hear-se)
    this is a life size Lion you can ,,,,,sit on huge LION that was on an old carousel
    it is NOT WOODEN .. its hollow and its some type of casted material like fiberglass or resin - its tough !
    it has the hole near the upper part of the neck./main that the metal pole went up from the ground to the top of the ride
    this was one of the rides/animals that did not go up and down.. it was fixed to the floor but had the pole -- so young kids could ride but not go up and down like the horses did
    I made a pvc pipe painted off metallic brown to resemble the "pole" and put a cut thin wood for the flooring
    EVERY kid that came to our house when the kids were younger GOT THEIR PHOTO TAKEN ON THE LION!!
    as you can see as the lion has aged he has been blinged out with Christmas sleigh bells, gansta dollar jewelry, and funky hat and I took his crazy sunglasses off
    yeah it has been iconic in our place for decades.. entrance foyer.. as you come in our place.. YA SEE THE LION!!
