Expert: Bruce W. Zubee Date: 10/13/2006 Subject: What type of antique is this???? What date?
Question I have an antique wooden carved horse that is brown in color with a black mask on the face, red tongue, and old leather saddle that is engraved. It is on what looks like a (skateboard) with old wheels. Above all the legs is an indention that looks like someone took their finger and wiped it in downward motion like a v. Any idea what time period this comes from and whome the artist may be?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer These horses are new figures produced in a factory in the Philippines. Many of these have been synthetically aged to give them an antique appearance. Even the wheels are rusty. There are literally thousands of these floating around. Worth up to $50.00
