Stitching Pony

I saw this and had to buy it!  Here it is all cleaned up and with new leather since the old leather was rotted out.  Any idea what era it's from?  There are lots of slot head screws and it's very beefy.

If it helps at all, this was the original loop that attached to the foot pedal:

I have no idea of when it might have been made, but I love the horse legs!

Me too!  That was the largest attraction for me

Horse legs-- a whimsical touch to the piece, for sure!
Do you have any oblique or front-on photos, rather than just the side photos?

I don't, but the vertical boards are just parallel and spaced about 3/4" apart with 3/8" jaws on each side.  It's not the most versatile set-up, but I mostly just do straps anyway.

Very cool!  I also love the hooves.  Unless there is some identifiable maker's mark, there is always the possibility that it was homemade.  In any event, glad you have it and can show it the love it deserves.

Love, love, love the legs/feet!

interesting piece of furniture

mmmm, my thumbs are itchy, I'm getting the feeling that this was made in the 1930s/early part of 1940s. Looks like the wood  was scumbled, probably a cheap pine or white wood underneath. Very nice piece for all that anyhows

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is mostly white pine.  Thanks for the guess!
