Old carousel horse..
« on: June 14, 2013, 08:22:08 pm »
Hello all.. newbie to forums.. but long time viewer.. I have an old antique fiberglass carousel horse that my father had for a long time.. he is not interested in it anymore and wants to sell it.. can someone please give me some info as to how to determine what is it worth.. I would probably start on ebay to sell it

Please see pictures attached

I appreciate the help.. thank you!

I think this may be a  replica....the certificatye of authenticity..says its wood..but you,re saying its fibreglass.it also says its for display only...however...if this was a genuine carousel horse..then it would be worth a fair bit......time i did some searching...oops... .trust me not to read the certificate properly....i,m getting tired....as its 3.29am...over here....so i,ll start again...it is a repo....and it is as you say fibreglass, i will assume that it is a full size model.....now to see if there are any others for sale...

i think everyone is reading it wrong.. the image here says it was "cast from an original.. wood carousel horse" .. thats why i said fiberglass.. cause it is fiberglass.. not wood.. it was cast from the original wood.

This is a copy of an antique carousel horse !! Not an antique itself !!  Its very nicely done though !!  These were popular back in the 80`s and 90`s !!  I have two outside waiting to be done but haven`t had time !! Have you checked ebay to see if any others have sold ??  You can estimate a value that way !!  That doesn`t mean it will bring that much though !!
Too many other factors to consider !!
