This is a very primitive distressed 19th century wooden rocking or hobby horse. This handmade mid-Victorian toy shows tons of wear and age and have a great folk art style to the carving, particularly the head. Some of the original paint remains. This is quite a rare size, as it is about four feet long. Solid and sturdy, but probably best used for decoration at this point. The head was separated along a glue line when we found this, and then repaired.
