Perfect example of a Black Pumpkin.
Very dark brown color can be seen when backlit by a bright light, otherwise this float appears as black.
It has the black reflective type of look that you like to see in black pumpkins.
This float has no patches which is typical in black pumpkins.
A bit smaller than a standard sized pumpkin measuring about 32 1/4 inches in circumference at its widest or about 10 1/4 inches in diameter.
Excellent provenance have come from the ex-Bruce Gidoll collection, where it was 1 of the 8 black pumpkins in Bruce's collection.
