Description
This whimsical antique glider rocking house has until now been used by multiple generations in one family. While not marked - we attribute this gem to the venerable toy firm of Whitney Reed. Created sometime in the early 20th century it features:
- original body paint/finish
- original rawhide ears
- real horsehair mane and tail
- updated quilted/padded calico "saddle"
- recent grosgrain ribbon "reins"
- re-painted red base frame.
Measures 36" wide x 12.5" deep x 29" high.
