I have a rocking horse that was given to me by my father. I don't know the history behind it, but was wondering if you would be able to tell if it were worth anything. It looks as though it is hand carved and painted.If not do you know of anyone else who would look at the photo to see what they think.
Answer This is a common knock-off produced at a factory in the Philippines. These have been made since around the late 1970's early 80's and continue to be made and imported today. As a "decorative item" it may be worth $100 or so.
