Lines Brothers Rocking Horse - Sportiboy SP1

This lovely little Lines Brothers Sportiboy was wonderfully restored to give an authentic period feel. The horse is around 80 years old and would have been made in London in the 1920s. It is guaranteed to be an original Lines Sportiboy. The front clamp holding the swinger bar is stamped with "LBLSP1".

In a recent professional restoration, the paintwork and varnish has been applied in a way which simulates the manner in which original varnish becomes patchy over the years with wear and tear. In addition, the saddle has been given an aged appearance.

This Lines rocking horse has now been sold.
