Pam's Rocking Horses

Ends soon, I am being told to rescue her by Miles, but easy for him to say, he hasn't got to pay for them....

Nice horse this, he's lost most of his stand but I think the top plank is original. Rather plain brackets don't help with ID. It looks like he's been worked on by Margaret Spencer.

It will need checking and any necessary repairs before being used by a child. Sold as a restoration project. This belonged to my mother when she was a little girl and, based on our family history, is believed to be well over 80 years old.

I've only just noticed the stencil on the B and C horse. Also a stencilled number on the top rail. Barr. Was that a department store in Manchester? I can't check now as I'm off to the Parkrun... Actually I've found time to look in the book and it appears to have been a toy shop.

A set of postcards with rocking horses. Lovely set, I can see Brasington and Cooke, ASG, Ayres, Smith...

If I didn't already have a set, I'd buy these. I think they are nearly a grand from the RHS now.

While he's where I can get at him, I've shortened his mane a bit and taken a little out of his forelock.
He always looks quite delighted. I think he knows something that I don't.... 😄

What a foxalicious painting! Talented lady.

Think Foxy is finished 🦊

I have found a tail that might do for Ranger. It is a blonde colour with a bit of brown in it. It matches the lightest shades of his mane. I will leave it in and look at it for a bit.
He is so close to being finished, poor chap.

Very nice. 🙂 I suppose it is a Leach. I'm not so good at ID'ing those...
