19th century life sized horse trade sign from a tack shop in Pottsville, PA. Horse is made of cast iron, wood, and papier mache. The tail and cast iron ears are removable. Original finish. The mouth opens for a bit. Would have been used to display saddles and other equestrian gear. Incredible piece of folk art for any horse enthusiast.
