Antique Rocking Horse by International Model Aircraft Ltd.
A delightful vintage rocking horse crafted in England by International Model Aircraft Ltd., a subsidiary of the renowned toy manufacturer Lines Brothers Ltd. This charming mid-20th-century piece features a sturdy mild steel frame painted in a bright red finish, paired with a plush body stuffed with wood wool and covered in a blend of mohair and cotton. Its expressive design, complete with retouched eyes, a mane, and a tail, evokes nostalgia and timeless appeal. Manufactured during the 1940s or 1950s, it represents the innovative blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern materials characteristic of that era.
