J. Collinson & Sons, a Liverpool family firm, made rocking horses from 1836 to 1993. Following a famous royal visit in 1851 when HM Queen Victoria chose a dapple grey horse, Collinson have always finished their hand carved horses in dapple grey. They are of robust pine construction, with distinctive wide legs, and ride on a strong safety stand. They were sold through stores like Harrods and Hamleys, as well as regional department stores. Collinson horses are usually unmarked until 1981, when a maker's plate was introduced. Collinson closed its doors in 1993.
This example is in excellent working order and mostly original with a restored mane and tail, reins and stirrup leathers. Other than that it is pretty much as manufactured, in probably the late 1930s or 1940s

Overall height from the ground up is 90cms
The horse is approx 78 cms long at hooves x 71 cms high and 10cms wide (again at hooves)
