Over two years ago, I posted about The Fuzzy Wonder Goat. I came across The Fuzzy Wonder again recently on Anachronistic Decay, and this time there was some background information!
Turns out Fuzzy was the work of the DeMoulin Bros. around the turn of the last century.
These goats were used in lodges and fraternal organizations as part of initiation ceremonies.
Aside from the illustrious Fuzzy,, other models were also available.
Here is the DeMoulin Bros. catalog:

I’ll refrain from posting more goat specifics, but you can find more information (along with uses) on this site.

Thanks for the publicity. If you’d like to see the real thing, visit the DeMoulin Museum in Greenville, IL. We have several of the DeMoulin lodge initiation devices on display.
