A rare example of a patent spring design produced in the 1920s by Invicta Toys of Kent.
The stand is outwardly a jubilee style four poster design, but the horse is mounted on a sprung steel bracket, itself tensioned with adjustable bolts acting on a coiled spring. Although the coil spring does appear slack, it is infact helping tension the mounting bracket. The result is the distinctive additional rocking action achieved on sprung horses as opposed to the standard rocking motion.
The horse has had a full restoration. This horse is a rare collectable for the discerning collector who wants something distinctively different.
