z1920) Steiff. Rolo. Showcased by Angela Tamayo HessianRolo 1920's Steiff horse on iron wheels. I adopted Rolo from a good friend of Dot Bird, the bear restorer, Helen Taylor' Rolo has been restored lovingly by his previous owner and comes complete with real leather tackle and original iron bit in mouth. His leather and iron carriage with stirrup straps has Steiff printed on and is original. Amazingly he still has his button in ear which dates him around the 1920 era.
