VK Nubian Centaurette

Disney collectors will be happy to see this show up on eBay...a Vernon Kilns figure from 1941. This is #24, the Nubian Centaurette with left hand at throat, from the animated classic "Fantasia." VK made this series for Disney for less than two years in 1940-41, so you don't see them too often. The seller is lowballing the value at $750...$1300 to $1500 is more like it. Be fun seeing how high this goes. Auction ends Saturday, 10/28, at 8pm.
Interesting to note that the two Nubian Centaurettes in Fantasia's Pastoral Symphony segment were seen in the 1940 original, but edited out of later re-releases because of the stereotypical racial depictions.
