**VINTAGE 1938 WALT DISNEY ENTERPRISES "FERDINAND THE BULL" & MATADOR COMPOSITION TOY LOT**
Up for sale/sale is a rare, all-original 1938 Disneyana composition toy lot featuring Ferdinand the Bull and his Matador, manufactured by the Ideal Novelty & Toy Co. This pair is being sold strictly **AS-IS / FOR PARTS OR RESTORATION** due to structural damage on the Matador figure.
Please review the detailed condition notes and photos carefully before purchasing.
### ITEM DETAILS & CONDITION DETAILED BREAKDOWN:
**1. Ferdinand the Bull:**
* **Markings:** Clearly stamped on the left flank: "© W.D. ENT. IDEAL NOVELTY & T. CO." The stamp is sharp and highly legible.
* **Graphics:** The rare original white stenciled bee on his rear flank is intact and visible.
* **Flaws:** He is missing his original white plastic mouth flower. The very tip of his tail is broken/chipped off. He shows typical light surface wear and minor scuffs consistent with a 1930s toy, but the legs are securely attached and he stands well.
**2. The Matador Doll:**
* **Flaws (Severe):** Both lower legs/boots have completely broken off at the cuff line, exposing the inner wood-composite core. The boots are included loose in this lot for repair. There is also a small moth hole in the red felt cape.
* **The Good:** The composition on his face and hair is remarkably clean with very minimal crazing. His original satin shirt, gold shoulder epaulets, and grey pants are entirely intact, holding bright, vibrant colors.
### SHIPPING & HANDLING:
Due to the fragile nature of 1930s composition materials, this set will be packed with extreme care. Items will be wrapped individually in bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy box to ensure no further cracking or damage occurs during transit.
