Subject: carousel horse

Question
Can you tell us anything about this horse? We were told it was carved by a German carver, but we are unable to find any information on it. We would like to know the year, carver and value. Thanks.

Answer
This is not an authentic horse.  It's one of thousands of knock-offs produced by machine in the Philippines.   It's made to resemble a German carving by Friedrick Heyn, but falls way short of an authentic carving.   Hope you didn't pay too much for this.
