EARLY AMERICAN TIN HORSE HOOP TOY. Quite possibly by George Brown, this toy from the 1880s features a white horse within a ribbed red tin circular hoop. Hoop toys are very difficult to find due to the susceptibility to damage, let alone scrap drives, childhood destruction, and other pitfalls. This particular toy came from a general line antique dealer/collector who had gotten it from Bernard Barenholtz some 30-35 years ago. In very good, all original condition with no restoration and/or repairs. SIZE: 6-1/4″ dia. CONDITION: Overall very good plus. 1-11125 (2,500-3,500)
