Rocking Horse Door Stop in Aged Cast Iron

Antique Cast Iron Rocking Horse on Base

This little rocking horse has lots of age! The paint is original. I believe it was originally used as a doorstop  but could be re-purposed in lots of ways within a decorating theme. It sits on an iron base and is stable. Great shelf sitter. It is two sided. Age is estimated to be c1900+-.

At one time there were leather handles on either side. Now missing.

Decorative Metal on Steamer Trunk

The latches on either side are in good shape as are the hinges.

Steamer Trunk Original Lock

 The original lock is all there and probably would work if a key could be located!

 The trunk has been washed in wood soap to remove "musty" smell common to these old trunks. It has been aired in fresh air and sunshine.

Inside Steamer Trunk

 The lid is supported with a hinge on the right side. Paper lines the trunk and may be original to the trunk. The lid has a picture pasted in which I do not believe to be original. I have left everything as I found it. The new owner can make decisions about what needs to be refinished or left alone.

Steamer Trunk Front View Lid Raised

There may have been a divider between the lid and the lower section to store items in the two small upper divided sections of the lid.

Primitive Immigrant Trunk

This trunk has been around for a long time! It still has the remnants of a US customs tag and an old address. It is missing the front escutcheon but the lock operates. At some point, someone felt the need to "antique" the finish.

 Notice the spelling of "Amerika!"

Back Side of Immigrant Trunk Showing Hinges

 It has cast iron reinforcement straps.

Remnants of Customs Tag

 The trunk has a slightly rounded camel top and forged iron handles on either end that are original.

Upper Lid Lock

I found a key that operates the lock. It is not original but it does work. The top loop of the key is broken in half but it is still easy enough to grasp to turn the lock.

In real life, the trunk has this mustard brown color as shown below. The pictures above were taken on a cloudy day but I used them because I thought they should some of the detail better.
