This is an Ed Roth carved modern replacement figure that is a "guest" animal on Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel #62 which was built in 1922 and is housed in the Looff Hippodrome (a National Historic Landmark) at the Santa Monica Pier. Moved there in 1947, it is the third carousel to be housed in the historic building and is the carousel that was featured in the movie "The Sting". The carousel originally had only horses, but after restoration work in 2002 by Roth, who is a modern master carousel carver, the rabbit and other animals including a goat, and even a triceratops, carved by him, have served as guest animals in a couple of places on the carousel where an original horse once stood.
