Antique carved wood rocking zebra toy
« on: March 23, 2014, 01:40:15 pm »
Would my zebra probably hold the same value as a toy rocking horse?  Any ideas on age?  Value?

Made in the same style as this vintage German rocking bear!


Saw your listing...and I think that's a good price to try for!  Looking over pricing it doesn't show they garner as much as a "horse".

I was unsure about the listing price but I noticed too they don't seem to do as well as a traditional horse.  They are great items though.  Back when  people took pride in craftsmanship.

It really doesn't look like a zebra.  It looks like it shaped like a bear. I believe even a tiger. It's listed as a zebra?

KC posted the bear one as an example of style.  My zebra is above that.

It has an equine head but tigers tail !! I think the person who made it may have had a few German beers too many !! Got his animals crossed !!

Icedgold10, I am believing that yours is big enough for a small child to sit on?  Whereas the one Rauville posted is very small for a doll.
