Editing Vulcan statue (section)

===Alabama State Fairgrounds===
The ''Vulcan'' statue was eventually re-erected at the [[Alabama State Fairgrounds]], but the statue's arms were installed incorrectly, and the god was without his [[spear]], which had been lost on the way from St. Louis.

With nothing to hold in its hands, ''Vulcan'' soon became an advertising figure.  Over the years, ''Vulcan'' held an ice cream cone, a [[Coca-Cola]] bottle, and even [[H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz]] pickles.  In the late 1920s, the statue was disassembled for inspection. During this time, children would often play around the disassembled statue.  It was painted a flesh color and was reassembled in the early 1930s.
