Tommy has a much-hugged feel about him, and Cobweb says he's seen better days, but will look wonderful again : ) I wish I could afford to keep him and have him restored for any grandchildren who might come along . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11169682316112094112014-10-20T06:24:59.572-07:002014-10-20T06:24:59.572-07:00You have presented these two much loved [and over-...You have presented these two much loved [and over-worked?] equines in such a spritely way!

Then read on and understood. We have a Victorian Rocking horse that was once a carousel. Ma had him restored last year (we've had him since I was two, which is longer ago than I'm willing to admit). It was costly, but he looks great. They are marvellous things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-56880040297056976352014-10-20T00:22:07.084-07:002014-10-20T00:22:07.084-07:00Me neither, but I did have the Real Thing (I saved...Me neither, but I did have the Real Thing (I saved the best till last, and he was a Crabbet Arab).
