Australia. This toy has been with me since I was born 47 years ago. It would have been second hand when it was given to me as a baby, no doubt. It has an oblong shaped stitched area under one of the hooves where a label would have been I think.
this item has patina, as you see in the photos. i havent cleaned it, because wasnt sure what it would do to the value, but it is polishable. it is Homan Plate on Nickel Silver W.M. Mounts, Made in U.S.A. 0683. other than the patina, it appears to be in perfect condition. it looks like a sugar bowl , from a tea service possibly, but unsure.
