Description

BUSTER BROWN THE WONDER HORSE
(1950s)
painted wood and metal with decals, 29" x 19" x 35"
This delightful child's rocking horse was made for the
Buster Brown Shoe Stores
in the 1950s. It is painted in red and black with decals of Buster and Tige on each flank; it is sturdy and in good working order with taut metal springs. "The Wonder
Horse / Trademark Registered / Pat. #28379 / Collierville, Tenn." is printed in black on the upper body near the neck. Buster Brown and Tige were created by R.F. Outcault as the title characters of his great comic strip, and the Buster Brown Sunday page was a regular feature of newspapers through 1921. The characters were featured in movies, radio, television, and on many items of merchandise.
Buster Brown Shoes
were sold throughout the United States beginning near 1900, and in the 1950s
Buster Brown Shoe Stores
were opened throughout the country.
Some paint has worn off; there is minor wear to the decals; metal springs are tarnished but not rusted; it is complete and overall in FINE condition.
