I am currently downsizing and was recommended to this site for help in finding out what a piece of furniture might be worth. I have a folding wooden rocking chair with armrests that belonged to my grandmother (b late 1800s, d 1976). According to what I have seen so far, it is probably Victorian. Not sure of exact age/when it was purchased or acquired by my grandparents.

I also have an antique/old Mobo painted metal horse which can be "ridden" by a small child.

I have photos but not sure if this is the place to post them.

Welcome .. That is a beautiful rocker!
 

For the rocking horse there are many for sale.
Just put "MOBO Rocking horse for sale" and you'll get lots of examples of asking prices and condition.
 

Your rocker is a Eastlake style victorian rocking chair. Some hole value some go for a song. Lot of styles but basically the same. Once again just Google Eastlake upholstered rocking chair.

I can’t tell if the rocker is actually Victorian, or Victorian-style. It looks very 1959ish to me. I hope it is older for your benefit. The horse is an eye-catcher for a grandparent. Best of luck!🍀
