Question
Have an old wicker doll buggy with the front being flat and a large hand carved wood rabbit head being mounted on the front. Has wooden wheels with metal around the outside or rim. Great shape and know nothing about who made it or when it was made along with a value. Have listed it on ebay and hope I'm not too high or low on price. Pictures can be seen, is item #180744251314. Any help on this would be appreciated. Rick
I'm sorry to say, without close inspection, that your item is a reproduction item, not a rare antique. These have been around for a while and no where can I find any information that shows anyone ever made this item back in the day.
It's only MY opinion,
Rob
