Height 16 3/4 x width 20 1/8 x depth 9 3/8 inches.

Property from the Estate of Jules and Gwen Knapp, Glencoe, Illinois

The screw connecting the top horse to the base at its hind leg is detached from figure, so the horse wobbles slightly when handled, but still remains affixed to the base by the screw in the front hoof. In otherwise good, stable condition, with an overall even, rich patina. Dust to the recessed areas as well as faint rubbing to the surface commensurate with age and handling; no other significant condition issues.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
