Leather Horse. Antique?
« on: October 13, 2012, 02:34:18 pm »
I'm curious as to the age of this horse.  Leather looks old but i'm not sure and there are no markings.

Here's a similar one listed on Rubylane, believed to have been made in the 1980's.

You have a critical eye Mart, simply because you are a horse person....this leather horse ornament....to an untrained Mr/Mrs ...Joe Public...looks like a horse...they are not thinking...Hey...wa it a minute...this bit of its withers is wrong...or its hoof is squint.....they see a horse...its as simple as that....and if they like it and the price, they will buy it....

If it looks like a horse, rears like a horse, then its a horse of course. ;D ;D

We have various saying,s over here...when we see something that is,nt quite right...one being..."its no more a horse than flying in the air"...i,m using horse as a metaphor...or this one which for me is a cracker...."He, or she,s got a face like a horses arse"...now you Mart will probably think that a horses..rear end is a beautiful thing,..whereas for others its the ugliest thing on the planet.... ;D ;D....as for this Leather cuddy...it may sell...who,knows....here,s two for sale in the UK
