This is a not-quite-exact copy of the Stein and Goldstein "King" horse. It may have been intended to represent another
horse altogther, but so far the closest match I've found to a real carousel horse has been the famous "King" horse.
This
piece came with different base configurations, most commonly with an oak music-box base or oval brass base though other combinations
(such as a rocking-horse base) were produced in smaller quantities than the oak and brass bases. The piece is about
7-8" to the top of the pole. There is usually no coin set into the bases of these. The music box (if it has one) almost always
plays "The Carousel Waltz".
The average price of this piece when new was $40-$65.
