Description
A carved wood prancing stag by the German carousel maker Heyn circa 1890 in overall good + condition. The detail to the carving is fantastic making it look like real hair. Paint has been stripped. Has the carved eagle head seat, real antlers, chipped glass eyes, brass rosettes present but all but 3 jewels missing, no stirrups or reins, tail intact, some joint separation but no broken or missing pieces. A great candidate for restoration. Has hole for original V stand between front legs but has also been drilled for a pole. Comes with brass pole and floor stand. Measures 48″ long, 66″ to top of antlers, 12″ wide.
Circa 1940’s cast aluminum carousel horse most likely from a San Antonio Roller Works or a Mangles carousel. All we know is that it came off of a carousel that was parted out in southern Illinois in the 1970’s. The horse is a jumper with very nice paint. Comes mounted on a pole and a steel diamond plate base. Comes with a pair of stirrups but no straps or bridle.
NOTE: Pickup/Transport required. Contacts available post-auction.
