Share a treasure and get opinions and Age for Goodwill
« on: January 27, 2012, 01:50:45 pm »
     This just came in today and would like to get some opinions on it, Age, possible maker and any information you wonderful folks can come up with.  It is a Tricycle Horse, appears to be hand carved wood and wheels are iron.  Pretty cool item we would just mostly like to know age and if it is antique.

Neat piece, but in my opinion, most likely a decorative import from Indonesia within the last 20 years. (Remember...old cast iron articles for the most part were tumbled after casting and came out as smooth as a "babies cheek". When you see rough gritty castings on a piece like this; they will be of relatively recent manufacture.)

Here's some information: http://www.tricyclefetish.com/fakehorses.php

   Thank you for that Rauville, after comparing it to the web site, appears you are right, looks like you save our face.  Boss say's we will post it as a repo and see what happens. Thanks again.
