Greetings and best wishes from Mr.Allied and welcome to my sale!
Please have confidence
in my 100% honest descriptions and please
read the following carefully:
This is what
I
BELIEVE
to be an Antique, Hand Made, "Folk Art," Child's Toy Rocking Horse.
The first thing I should say is that I know absolutely NOTHING about these things.  I collect toy trains and got this with a collection of trains, here in Southern California.  The elderly woman I got it from said that she got it from her grandfather over 60 years ago and it was old then.  She says that her grandfather told her it was "Folk Art from the late 1800's."  I have no idea if it is that old or not, I am merely passing on what I was told.
This rocking horse measures approx. 23" long, 17" high and 8" wide at the base.  It is all wood construction.  Some of the joints are loose, especially at the rear "hooves" of the horse, please see photos.  This piece would be an absolutely GORGEOUS addition to home or office decor.
Anyway, these old eyes don't see like they used to, so I ask that you take the time to "ZOOM IN" and look the photos over very closely, to determine for yourself just what we have here.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PHOTOS ARE AN INTEGRAL and a VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS LISTING. You NEED to
"ZOOM IN"
and STUDY the photos very carefully.
What you see is what you get.
I am selling this Very Old Wooden Rocking Horse "as-is, as-found."  Please look the photos over
VERY
carefully and ask any questions you may have, BEFORE you make your purchase.

IMPORTANT!  THIS IS HOW I SELL ON EBAY--PLEASE READ:
1.  On most all of my listings, I offer FREE SHIPPING, within the lower 48 States. Sometimes, shipping to Alaska or
Hawaii
will also be free, but many times, on larger or heavier items, I may charge shipping to those states.  I most
always use either USPS Priority Mail, First Class or FedEx Home
Delivery.  Please note that when I offer free shipping,
the choice
of carriers is MINE, regardless of what is noted in a
particular listing.
Your
purchase will be
PACKED WITH
CARE,
by
someone who has been packing and shipping delicate
items for over 50 years.
And, your
shipment will be
FULLY
INSURED,
AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU!
All shipments
valued at 0.00 and over
will require a signature when
delivered.
2.  I've been around for a while--a LONG while--and I have dived into my last dumpster looking for shipping cartons!  So,
I purchase brand new, 200# test, shipping cartons and I use anti-static, 100% BIODEGRADABLE, environmentally friendly,
loose fill packing material--MOST OF THE TIME.  I say "most of the time," because I will, on some occasions, ship in
previously used cartons and I may reuse other types of packing materials, which best suit the item(s) being shipped.  I
sometimes use USPS Priority Mail shipping cartons as well.
3. I ship to all countries served by the eBay Global Shipping Program.  I will NOT ship internationally on my own, sorry.
4.  If you are buying for resale and have a valid resale permit, YOU need to contact eBay.  Here is what eBay says: "eBay's
Buyer Exemption Program for Sales Tax:  If you are a tax exempt buyer, we have a buyer exempt system that allows you to
submit sales tax exemption certificates to eBay and make purchases without paying sales tax."
Please understand that sellers
cannot help you with this, YOU must contact eBay to set this up.
5.  If you have a problem with something you buy from me, PLEASE contact me at once, so we can try and resolve the matter.
It is my goal to have all my buyers be TOTALLY SATISFIED and HAPPY with their purchases.  I want to EARN positive feed
back from you, along with 5 Star Customer Service.
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS MR.ALLIED SALE!
