Black Jockey on Horse Figurine
« on: October 11, 2014, 11:01:47 am »
It measures approx. 5" tall and 9" long. I couldn't find anything written on it. Anybody have any ideas on the worth, or any other info that could help me out? I tried looking on eBay but couldn't find anything close. Thank you.

It's hollow where the feet/legs are when you look underneath.

This looks like it might have been made from same maker? Looks somewhat similar. This is just an ashtray, though..yet, a jockey.

 Yours may be 1920`s or 30`s,,thought it was but had to check !!  Found some similar shaped wooden horse and jockey from a horse race game of that era !! One unusual thing about yours and the ones I found is the legs are made together !!  I still think something else goes with it !!  Or maybe it had wooden rockers ??  It is ceramic isn`t it ??

Mart, reminds me of some old one that were on rockers.   Can't say for sure without seeing in person.

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!
