Interesting set of 3 cast iron bunnies. 2 are finished and painted and one is in the raw cast form. I would think they were simply toys but the square peg with a hole in on the bottom makes me think they had a use?
They are so pretty, love the color. There is a very nice CW member who collects cast iron rabbits & hope he visits to answer your question
I think they all sat on an iron (or other round metal piece) in a line, for a "shoot the bunny" game at a fair. Do I get the blue ribbon, or a stuffed giraffe?
