Circa 1900. Saw one similar sold at Christies in '10 for about $500.

Very nice!

Used to be a partner in the Rocking Horse Antique store. Your horsey does indeed date from 1890-1910, looks to have pretty much original paint(maybe or not), base is solid and tells the age story, and most importantly, the saddle is original. I(and my friend annette) think you can double that $500 easily. These are fairly rare in that condition and you can get your money back tomorrow if you wanted. People go nuts for them(like you did). Now, noriding it after a full meal.
