Antique Hide Covered Carved Wood Hobby Horse from The Schwarz Toy Bazaar

About the Item

This rare survivor of the F. A. O. Schwarz Toy Bazaar comes from an early period in the firm's history. The labeled horse (see photo 7) was produced before 1889. The company was founded in 1862 by Fredric August Otto Schwarz in conjunction with his brothers in Baltimore of that year. Other retail stores in Philadelphia and Boston soon followed them ultimately one in New York City in 1870. The initials of the funder F. A. O. was added to the company and its labels in 1889. This horse is made of wood covered in straw then burlap then covered in cow or horsehide. Its saddle and reins and tack are all leather while the bit and stirrups are metal. The horse has inset glass eyes and rests on a metal leaver which allows it to rock back and forth on the grain painted original 19th century stand. This amazing survivor of a privileged child's toy is in exceptional condition but still obviously having been played with enough to show wear and use expected for its age.
