A child's toy consisting of a leather horse on a painted wooden base with wheels (sticker on the bottom for F A O Swartz Toys), a painted cart and shafts, and china doll with porcelain head, arms, and legs. She is in her petticoats and a blue ribbon sash at her waist, and green garters. Late 19th or early 20th century

Cart and Horse: H 8-3/4 in. W 16 in. D 6 in. Doll: H 13 in.

Condition: The horse is mostly intact with some loss of leather "skin", and one piece of the leather "tack" is broken but present. The cart has some paint loss, but is remarkably bright considering its use by children! The back board is split along the horizontal, but is holding securely. The doll is in excellent condition. Some crackle to the porcelain, but no breaks or chips noted. Paint is also very good. She is unmarked.
