How well does anyone know about Antique Horse Toys?

Question

My family has this fairly large sized metal horse toy. It stands about 3 feet tall and 3 feet long. It has metal pedals on the side and as a child pushes down on them the horse "scoots" along the floor on wheels attatched underneat the "hoofs"

I was told by my mom that it was a gift given to her great uncle in the 1940;s and that its from Great Britian. and at the time was very expensive.

I'm lookiing to sell it but I have no clue who made it, or how to find research about it. I need some expert help if anyone has a clue about it.

E-mail me if you do, and I will try to get a photo next time I see the horse.
