Check out my other auctions for more interesting antique and collectible items, many with no reserve!!!!! Fresh from a local estate!  Untouched, as found!  RARE FIND!!!!!!!!  Early 1900's mechanical horse/bull from one of those huge luxury steamship cruise liners like the S.S. Leviathan.  Made in Germany by the Rossel, Schwarz Co.  Circa 1915-1925.  Has two speeds, trotting and galloping.  Don't think I could stay on it!!!!!!!!!  Comes with the original old leather saddle that has seen better days.  Black paint with gold pinstriping.  Mfg plate on back.  The two rings on the front upward shaft are for reins or rope to hold onto.  I have included a picture of a woman sitting on a similar mechanical horse from the S.S. Leviathan steamliner.  This is just a copy of the photo, I do not have the original and it is not included in the sale, it is shown just for referencing the age of the machine.  Outstanding collectible for the Rodeo enthusiast or the Western Americana collector.  GREAT CONVERSATION PIECE!!!!!  Not to mention a lot of fun if you can stay on it!!!!!!  I plugged it in and it does work in one gear but the other just makes noise so I would say that it is in need of some engine cleaning and tweaking to make it fully operational, you are purchasing as is. I did not run it for very long for fear I might hurt the engine.  Naturally due to the weight, this item is being sold on a pick up only, or arrange your own shipping basis.  It is in super nice condition for it's age and use.  See photos for condition.  Saddle is very worn.  This is the only one that I have ever come across so DON'T WAIT BID NOW!!!!!!!!!  Offered with no reserve!  Not responsible for personal injury due to the use or missuse of this item.  Ride at your own risk!  Contact me prior to payment.
