40s-50s “Aqua Ballerina” wax molded turquoise-colored collectible figurine🏊‍♀️💕

🧜‍♀️💕I remember watching a machine make these wax mold souvenirs right before our eyes in the museums in the 60s **In a documentary, I learned about the “Weeki Wachee Mermaids” in FL then found this in an antique store & had to have it! I’m not a swimmer & I never saw these women, so she belongs with someone who has a personal connection. (Wish I had the wax mold dinosaurs from the Field Museum!)This piece fabulous: still has her arms & costume in perfect shape Origin: FLORIDA CYPRESS GARDEN famous for water shows in the mid-20th century Subject: “Aqua Ballerina” who performed in the iconic water shows Material/Era: Wax/50s souvenir
