Butchers Shop Displays

Early 20th century English papier Mache butchers shop display pig figures

A pair of quirky and authentic early 20th century English papier Mache butchers shop display pig figures. One with a papier Mache base and the other with a pine base which are firmly in place.

They were recently uncovered from the same grocery store in Cornwall early this month.
