    Off To The Races!

    I found this wonderful little rocking horse at a late 1800’s house. At first I thought it was lead but after cleaning it I can tell it is brass. The appearance to me seems to be vintage as it just has the design look of an earlier period. It is approx. 2 3/4" long & 2 1/4" high
