I haven't been on here in a while. Thought I would pass by and say hi to all of you. So hiiiii!! : ) Also thought I would pass through to share some of my recent finds for some conversation as well as for those that enjoy these types of items.
This is another item that I obtained from a person that found it in an old barn. I think it is from the 1800's, but I am not sure. It is about 16 inches across and 7 1/2 inches tall with its knees bent. The knees bend, the neck moves up and down, and the ankles are also moveable. It is a hand carved wooden puppet horse. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you as always my friends and have a blessed day! : )

Thanks for the love Manikin! Great to see you around. Have an awesome day!! : )
Manikin you seem to be an expert possibly on these sorts of things and/or are connected to others that are. Could you please add any additional information you may have on this item from your vast knowledge. If not that is okay. Thank you in advance and always wishing you and your family nothing but the best! : )
Your welcome electobacco ! Your horse looks like it was hand carved but produced . His decoration on front of face what it there ? He has a Spanish feel about him. I do love old puppets and he is wonderful old one !
I did add an additional picture of the front of the horse and face which should answer the question you have. I appreciate your feedback as always. I am very confident it is not produced though. What is the main thing to look for on the item to show that it is original as well as its age? I am not able to thank you enough.
Thanks for the love BELLIN68 and comment. I found one similar to the item I have listed here Manikin on the Ebay listing below. They are just different styles.
