A Vintage 1960s Painted Steel Spring Rocking Horse - A vintage 1960s children's rocking horse featuring a spring-loaded bouncing mechanism. The toy is constructed from a red-painted tubular steel outer frame which supports a central blue-painted pressed steel assembly. This central component comprises a contoured bicycle-style seat and a footplate decorated with white painted circular footprint graphics. The horse's head is fashioned from a cream-coloured moulded composite material with red painted details to the eyes, fitted with a single yellow plastic handle. The bouncing motion is achieved through heavy-duty steel springs that connect the seat unit to the base frame. A yellow adhesive label is applied to the seat, handwritten in blue ink, reading '1960s CHILDS RETRO ROCKING HORSE REF £25.00'.
