It's mounted on a bright red rocker base molded as one piece with the horse's legs, capturing the look of a child's rocking-horse toy in miniature. There's no hanging loop, but the open space beneath the horse's chin — between the bridle line and the neck — is just wide enough to thread a narrow ribbon through, letting it hang the way a small ornament would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA natural fit as a party favor, doll house or shadow box.  For a wreath or garland accent, a nostalgic addition to a Christmas tree, or a stocking-stuffer for a horse lover — equally at home on a crafting table as it is on a shelf with other equestrian miniatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Miniature Collectibles\" wasn't a major toy house — it was the kind of brand name stamped on inexpensive novelties sold through gift shops, five-and-dimes, and variety stores in the 1980s, when Taiwan had become a manufacturing hub for exactly this category of small, hand-finished plastic collectibles. Pieces like this one were made to be affordable impulse buys — stocking stuffers, party favors, curio-shelf fillers — which is part of why so few survive still sealed in their original packaging decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our shop for more vintage figurines and holiday ornaments to round out your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antigo Trunk","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43308352405713,"sku":"U2757","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_9048_b2a76490-824e-4df6-bc7a-93a427172fce.jpg?v=1789585520","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/en-ca\/products\/rocking-horse-figurine-miniature-collectibles-item-1117-nos-carded-taiwan-vintage-1980s","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
