This is a really unique rocking horse and while it may well be ridable it is intended as a vintage display item for a very special window dressing or for a centre piece in an antique toy collection.
I do not know how old it is but I'd guess back to my youth or maybe my mother & fathers youth or even older and I'm well matured... lol.
It stands taller than a general kiddies rocking horse (which we have for the grand children as in the new pictures) but it is also narrower and likely a little less stable for real use.
It is clearly strong enough to hold a child or a heavy display item, as I have sat on it without issues and I'm also no skinny puppy... lol.
No buy-now offered - just bid and enjoy the challenge.
Will deliver to the Auckland CBD for the price of a coffee - can't imagine shipping it, but will consider it at the winners risk and cost.

Length: 93 cm

I originally assessed it as being wood, but due to it's total cover of paint it may well be some sort of composit - but the composit idea simply comes from what is more likely old style wood fillers around the joins. It appears to be carved rather than molded.

Happy to answer your questions.
