Description
I am looking for a value on this cast iron "Jocko" lawn jockey. From what information I have found so far on the piece, it is from the late 1800s, there is no identifying foundery mark (apparently not uncommon for this particular piece). It is called a "picaninny caricature" possibly inspired by Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin". The first figure of this type was produced in 1860.
