Early 20th Century Fairground Figure

Early 20th century section hand carved fairground octopus illuminated figure
 
Due to the construction and metal hanging hooks on this hand carved fairground figure, we believe it would have been hung in situ at some point. The figure is made from section piece of pine wood, well-constructed if a bit crude in detail. The springs attached are removable and we feel would have likely had cloth or paper over them at some point to convey the octopus’s tentacles. This item has been rewired to a UK 240v power source with 2 light brass light fitting (bulbs not included) as the old fitting was not safe for current day use. The light is also fitted with a plastic switch for convenience of use. A complete one of piece of quirky fairground history in our humble opinion.
