This is a Second Edition Tobin Fraley, produced in 1988. This piece came with a slightly curved music-box base
(item #8219). The effect was to create a complete circle, if you had enough of them - so making it look like a full carousel
platform. It was also offered with a small brass clawfoot base (item #8218), and as a small ornament (item #8220) and a snow
globe (item #8221). The piece is about 7" to the top of the pole, and the horse moves up and down as the music box plays.
Each base configuration was limited to a run of 17,500.
The average price of this piece when new was $50-$75.
