These type of toys with the large wheels and bells became popular around 1860. At that time children loved toys that made noise and their imaginations were captured by the Pony Express riders. The Pony Express was in operation for 18 months from April 1860 - October 1861. When pushed the rider can move back and forth simulating the movement on a moving horse. The piece is original and there is some remaining red paint. Obviously there is wear throughout but it is structurally sound. This would make a lovely addition to your antique toy collection. Use as a display piece or if given as a gift it becomes an instant heirloom. Please review the photographs to see the condition details up close. less
