Some rocking horses can be very valuable, but this depends on shape and maker- if by a top maker, and of great shape, tattiness does not matter a jot. But then there are many plainer, less desirable ones- the trick is not to be conned. A woman had a superb rocking horse which she asked a couple of dealers about, and they offered her less than half what a private collector gave. Cheaper commoner models are Collinson and Sportiboy and Lines 21 models.
Good job. Thank god you preserved the paint.
Is this designed to be ridden sidesaddle, by the look of the pommel?
beautifully done x
Am in process of fixing up a rocking horse. Is there a way to reach you for advice?
I have a gray rocking horse and its in really bad condition, my mum found it at her work and it is very old. We don't know what to do with it.
