Cast iron sleigh 8 x 5 inches. I fund this a ton an estate sale. I see a lot on the internet titled vintage, but have not seen anything about how old it is or the manufacturer. Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
If it is unmarked I will assume it is a reproduction of the Hubley Swan Sleigh. It should have had a horse and lady driver included. The swan heads on the left and right front would have been painted and so would their wings which go down the sides just under where one would step in. Pictures are to dark but if you look closely you will see the swan neck then the wings along the sides. The heads are obvious and that is why it was called a swan sleigh.
Hi, thank you for the information. The seems look good and the screws appear to be period correct, but the finish is not smooth and there are no markings, so it is most likely a reproduction. Thank you
