Clara
Height 30.5"
Body Length 20.5"
Length Overall 44.5"
Clara is a German made hide covered horse dating to circa 1920. Although some wear and tear consistent with this age is inevitable, the hide on Clara is mostly intact. German companies made hide and plush covered horses in a variety of designs that involved a push horse mounted on a detachable bow. Thuringian Toy introduced a new model in the 1920s featuring the retractable wheels seen her on Clara. This is the first time we've had an example with this arrangement.
Clara appears to be constructed from papier mache, with a hide finish. The hide is missing from a few sections, notably the right hand neck. Right eye also missing.
