I have just come across this charming rocking horse with a natural hair tail and leather saddle. I am thinking about buying it for resale in my antique shop, and wondered what an appropriate retail value would be. Thank you for any information and help you can provide!
Answer This is one of the most common of imported knock-offs. These are produced by machine in the Philippines and sometimes synthetically aged to give them the appearance of an antique. These are worth nothing as collectibles. As a decorative piece it might be worth up to $100.00
