DescriptionThis charming rocking horse toy was handcrafted with love in Chicago by Frank Jarson around 1966. It was made for the son of the donor, Andrew Lee Schwartz, when he was one year old. The horse's body is covered with real cowhide and has a plastic saddle and red leather reins and harness. The base of the horse also disengages from the rocking base so it can be mounted on wheels.
