776-3 - C.W. Parker - $6,500
With upraised head in "Stargazer" pose this dashing circa 1916 outer row jumper spent its last working days on a park carousel in Springfield, Missouri. An older restoration in excellent condition, sparkling with jewels and enhanced with silver and gold, the horse is painted as a cocoa brown and white pinto with a leather colored saddle, the cantle forming a Parker trademark ear of corn. A foliate device issues from beneath the jewel punctuated breastband and a fringed, bordered and jeweled saddle blanket flows from beneath the saddle. Glass eyes, natural horsehair tail. 63 long x 44 high, 39 chest to rump.
