The beloved rocking horse that you, your parents, and your grandparents all enjoyed as children could be worth much more than just its sentimental value. Given that these popular children's toys have been around since the 17 th century, there is a long history of different styles and types which all appeal to collectors in varying ways. Take a look at some of these highly desirable antique rocking horses to see whether you should permanently retire your childhood steed or let it out on a few more rides. Conventional rocking horses were not created until around the 17 th century, but historians have concluded that the early examples of equestrian-themed toys from the medieval period like the hobby horse were the inspiration for these more sedentary horse rockers. The earliest rocking horses were made out of solid wood and often tipped over because their center of gravity was so high. However, the Victorian period improved this rocking horse style and created toy horses that were both hollow and set into " safety stands " to prevent children from falling over. Unfortunately, the Great Depression and both World Wars decimated most of the historic rocking horse manufacturers in existence, with only a few remaining to create quality products in the 20 th century and even fewer lasting into modernity. There are two main different types of antique rocking horses that you may either come across or already own. Both of these types were manufactured long after they were first introduced, so they're not a dead giveaway as to a rocking horses' age. Antique rocking horses were supremely crafted by talented artists and carpenters, and the list of manufacturers is quite exhaustive.
