Subject: antique horse

Question
My father gave this wooden horse to my daughter. and I was wondering if you can tell me anything about it. I do know that my father has had it about 40years. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

Answer
I didn't know reproductions were being imported 40 years ago but if your father had it that long then, it's true.   Note the seams where the legs and head fit together.  This was done so that the piece could be shipped separately which cuts down shipping costs.  Not really worth much.   Maybe a couple hundred dollars as a "decorative item".
