So finally today
sold it for 5 Euros as a DIY makeover project to a young lady. Don’t know if
the USSR origins of the toy meant anything to her, but so be it, at least one
kid will play with it again.

A USSR Rocking Horse
This cute
rocking horse was probably trashed because it had fallen apart completely. I
put the parts together just for the photo. Too bad the beautiful folkloristic floral
decoration was too damaged to be restored in it’s original state, at least not
by an amateur. I couldn’t get a good price for it.
