THEY PRODUCED SOME OF ENGLANDS FINEST HORSES BETWEEN 1864 AND 1940.

THEIR HORSES RARELY HAVE A MAKERS NAME ON. IF A MAKERS NAME IS FOUND, IT WILL EITHER BE STAMPED UNDER THE HORSES BELLY, OR ON THE TOP OF THE SWING STAND, AS SEEN BELOW.

 THE BRACKETS ON THE SWING STAND USUALLY HAVE A FOUR PIN BRACKET, SHOWN BELLOW.

ON THE SMALLER SIZED HORSES, MEASURING UNDER APPROX 34 INCHES HIGH, THE THREE PIN BRACKET SUCH AS THE ONE SEEN BELOW, MAY BE FOUND.

THEIR HORSES RANGED FROM THE PLAIN CARVED SUCH AS KARMA (BELOW)

TO THE TOP OF THE RANGE EXTRA CARVED HORSES, AS THE ONE PICTURED BELOW

THEY ALSO PRODUCED SOME OF THE UKs RARER ROCKING HORSES, WHICH ARE NOW HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.

THESE INCLUDED THE SPRING STAND, SUCH AS GEORGE

AND THE SWIVEL HEAD, OF WHICH ONLY A FEW HAVE EVER BEEN FOUND.
