Good morning, Lael,

Thank you for using Mearto for your appraisal inquiry. This appears to be a late 19th/early 20th Century Continental rocking horse. If there are any labels or stamps that would identify the maker please let me know as that might make a difference in value. Also, dimensions (overall height, length from nose to tail and also length of gliders) would be a good thing to include in this appraisal, so please forward those to me at your convenience and I'll update the appraisal so it's complete.

Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
