Post by: homeslice24 on January 26, 2013, 09:17:24 AM

Have this sculpture of a horse with a soldier on it, good condition just have no idea what its worth. No hallmarks and is about 9-10 inches high. Please let me know if you could tell me what it is or the value.

Those are generally referred to as "Clock Toppers /Statues", intended to dress up a mantle clock. There were numerous different designs, and values seem to be set by clock collectors, depending on scarcity. The majority sell for under $100, while a "rare" one will bring more. Check eBay under completed sales for "clock topper".
