Metal Horse and Carriage

I haven't a clue as to the age of this piece or if it was a toy or not. You can see the rider probably was in the spot where there's a metal point sticking up in the seat so the rider is most likely missing. The shell design of the back of the carriage is very nice though. I think it's iron but the horse is some other metal I think? I have no idea.  I'd appreciate any info about this and value too.
