Gigantic French Papier Mache Truffle Pig
About
Beyond wonderful! This bigger than life-size papier mache pig with original pink paint. The brass plaque reads: Je Donne une Truffe Mettez 1 fr. "I give a truffle put 1 franc". Originally mechanical, the head would nod and the truffle would come out between his legs! The mechanics we got with the pig are not original and we are unsure if they work. Show stopper display piece for a speciality food store or candy shop.
