1960’s vintage mobo painted tin plate rocking horse. Classic pressed metal rocking horse by mobo. Mobo started its journey with david sebel a russian who emigrated to england at the beginning of the 20th century, and set up in partnership as a wheelwright in east london. The business was successful and as they grew, they expanded and harry pioneered a new level and quality of british made toys. Manufacturing techniques developed in the war helped fuel an innovative ‘ride on’ bronco horse powered by a quite sophisticated mechanism based on bicycle gears. The mechanism took a number of years to fully develop and was patented, the prototype clay body was sculpted by the ra artist charles morewood. The genius behind their toys was the mobility, ride on horses used the child’s body movements to mechanically power the toy horse along, pushing up and down on the stirrups propelled the horse.
