DescriptionThis light blue rocking horse rattle was designed to entertain young children. Made entirely of plastic, it contains small beads inside that produce sound when shaken. Though much of the original paint has worn away over time, traces remain, hinting at its former decorative details. This object offers a glimpse into the world of American playthings and reflects the styles, materials, and aesthetics that characterized toys of its era.On View
