Antique German Horse Platform Pull Toy, Glass Eyes, Leather Hide Wrapped Sewn

Description

This amazing antique horse pull toy is most likely from Germany and dates to the late 1800's early 1900's. It's not the largest I've seen but certainly is one of the nicest and most realistic. It is actual horse hide wrapped and sewn onto a horse form  which I think is carved wood. It is set onto a wooden platform that measures 10" by 2.75". The platform has a small hole in the front where a string would have been, used to pull the toy. I believe the wheels are cast iron, they work as they should and are very stable. The leather fittings seem original although the thin reins are fragile and one is shorter than the other.  The bridle looks good, there is a small chip on the front of the nose. I especially like the pink painted nostrils and the glass eyes. The hooves are wooden and very realistic.  All the sewn seams are in good shape as is the mane and tail which is probably mohair.
The horse is 7.5" tall not including the hair or platform and it is 6.5" in length.
Really a nice old toy and I think in great condition. Please see all the photos to judge condition for yourself and ask if you have any questions.
