1940s Mobo "Bronco" Bouncy Riding Horse by D. Sebel, England
A vintage Mobo "Bronco" Bouncy Riding Horse, an iconic ride-on toy manufactured by D. Sebel & Co. in England. First introduced in 1947, the Mobo "Bronco" became a household name for its innovative design and durable construction, making it a beloved toy for children during its time.
Crafted from pressed steel, this "Bronco" horse features a charmingly weathered finish that reflects its age and history. The toy is propelled by a unique spring mechanism, patented in 1942, which allows the horse to move forward when the rider pushes down on the stirrups and releases them. This particular model is equipped with hard rubber casters and is marked "Mobo" on the pedals.
The Mobo "Bronco" was renowned for its robust design. This model, while showing signs of age such as finish wear, surface corrosion, and missing reins, still retains its functionality. The horse moves freely, bounces smoothly, and the wheels turn as intended, making it a delightful display piece for collectors or a nostalgic reminder of simpler times.
Condition:
The toy exhibits signs of age-appropriate wear, including scratches, scuffs, dents, and surface corrosion. The finish shows significant wear, particularly on the saddle area. The reins are missing, but the mechanism remains functional, allowing the horse to move and bounce as designed.
