I found this: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4933843

It says it sold for $5000 on that link but am curious as to what someone else would think on here.

It bears his stamped signature G.Gardet and each statue has a stamp of 3 numbers and a letter. I am guessing some kind of serial?

I am guessing the wood is not worth anything but the actual bronze is.

any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

I have had this toy for half my life i cannot find any information on it or anything else like it. This is very old and i really want to find out when it was made and how much it might be worth.

I bought it from a couple that had died and left it to a friend. I paid 500.00 for it. I'm a Barber and its a fine example of a old Koken. Very fancy foot rest and all original including the headrest exept for some nickel plating around the white porcelin base its in excellent condition. Everthing works... They just don't make them like that anymore.

This item is a "Hoscar Award" which was named after the Oscar Awards, but was meant for a private theatre. This award was created at the Barn Theatre which was cofounded by Peter Tewksbury. Tewksbury became a famous director in the mid 1950's. He directed films with Jane Fonda and Elvis Pressley. The original Hoscar award was a porcelain horse with four legs. Later they changed it to a sitting donkey because the legs kept breaking on the horse. Today the award is made on a plaque. This item is the four leg horse version. It was awarded to a Joan Tewksbury, we were unable to find any information on her.
