Old Bow Rocking Horses

 

Bow rockers were the norm before the invention of the Marqua safety stand in 1880. They continue to be made today, often having a classic graceful charm. This stable however is reserved for antique bows before 1914. Usually impossible to originate to a maker, identification is based on style and craftsmanship.
