c1950 or earlier. Silver Plated on wooden base. A fantastically detailed horse racing group, the finest I've offered in some time. Its appearance changes constantly depending on the changes in illumination. To illustrate that I have taken several photos with the light coming from different directions. None of my photos do it justice, it simply must be seen! The condition is superb, no losses to the plating. The only issue is a long lost rein, the other is still there but not attached to the jockey's hand. A minor flaw that could be easily be rectified by a silversmith if one so desired. No maker's mark which is very surprising for an object of this quality. It could be that there is a mark under a hoof but I have not removed the figure from its base. My guess is that it was produced by the Jenning Bros. (JB) of Bridgeport, CT, or by the Weidlich Bros., both makers of Luxury gift ware. Would make a fine trophy by adding a plaque.....To view MORE FINE SPORTING ITEMS INCLUDING TROPHIES I have listed please click on the "VIEW THIS DEALER'S OTHER ITEMS" button on the left, then use the search box....Please enlarge my photos for a closer look....
