Antique or Reproduction WOOD ROCKING HORSE Paint Finish

I've been dealing with antiques for most of my life, way before selling on Ebay. I can spot a reproduction piece a mile away. I will confess I am stumped on this item, and can't guarantee it to be an antique, or even very old. It may be a reproduction. I know this comes out of a forfeited storage unit in Flagstaff, Arizona where it was stored in a climate-controlled environment for around 20 years.

Examining the horse, I can see the small age cracks and lines you might expect of an older piece... lines where the wood was joined, and some age cracks in the wood itself. The tail came to us off the horse, but we have done what I think is a good repair and it's attached well. The tail has some signs of previous repair as well. You'll also notice in a couple of photos one rocker has lost a chunk of wood at the front. There's also wear and scuffing to the paint, whether from age or by clever design.

Solid wood here... NO part of this thing is manmade materials at all. Heavy and solid as you might expect.

It could use a good cleaning and detailing by it's next owner. I checked all over and found no major issues or damage that is not disclosed here so you won't have any unexpected surprises.

This measures about 37" high at it's tallest point, and about 36" long from front to back. There's a loop carned into the wood at the top of the mane to insert a rope or strap if you wish.

You can bid with confidence on this one, guys... if you like it a little in the pictures, you will love it in real life.

Just one of the many interesting items I've got up for auction this week from several estates and various unclaimed storages. Please take a look at my other listings!

We offer all our items just as we bring them in... sometimes dusty and in need of light cleaning. Keep in mind in many cases we know absolutely nothing about a specific item, it's history, how it works, or how to use it! Please examine the photos carefully to see what's included and what's not... since you are bidding on the exact item shown in the pictures. I will always describe the condition the best I can, by telling you what I see in front of me.
