Item Description

A truly delightful anatomical model from American Bobbitt Laboratories, believed to depict a Lubber Grasshopper.

If indeed a Lubber (derived from the old English word "lobre," meaning lazy or clumsy), which is the nearest look to the model we can find, these creatures, also known as devil's horses, rely on walking or hopping due to their short wings, making flight nearly impossible.

Standing at a height of 26 cm, with a width of 61 cm and a depth of 18 cm, this model likely originates from the 1970s.

Despite some chipping to the base, it proudly retains its company label from Bobbitt Laboratories in Burlington, North Carolina.
