This 'Improved Model Swinging Horse' appeared in Whitney Reed catalogs as early as 1915 and as late as 1923. This is the largest such platform style horse we have seen and is a truly exceptional example with all original features: velvet saddle blanket and saddle back, enamel cloth saddle seat and skirt, bridle and bit, hide ears and horse hair mane and tail, celluloid eyes, cast iron stirrups and horse shoes on rear legs. The overall subtle gray dappling on white is in exceptional state with only minor nicks, saddle wear is just enough to show this horse was ridden but well taken care of. The base retains strong stripping decoration; ex Tony Orlando Collection
