Title: Black Jockey on Horse Figurine
Post by: valhom 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.

Is anything on the underside of the belly or the feet ??  Looks like it went with something else,, not sure what yet !!

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.
