938-9 - Parker - $2900
Circa 1910 outside row horse from a portable or “traveler” machine manufactured by the Charles Walker Parker factory in Abilene, Kansas. The horse is in the jumping position and features an open mouthed laughing head in an elevated position, a pleasant expression, a deep double layer peytral and a saddle cantle adorned with swirling leaves. The figure has glass eyes and presents in “as found” solid unrestored condition without missing parts, showing layers of distressed old paint with profuse painted decorations on the trappings - a disciple of the "shabby chic" look. 55 long x 46 high.
