500 hundred pounds.

£500? That was more than the annual wage for very wealthy people.

An old catalogue from 1900 shows that the largest, top of the range extra-carved bow rocker horse, beautifully made, with rippling mane and tail was in fact 100/- One hundred shillings, or £5.

Smaller rocking horses started at well under £1. If this seems cheap, actually, it is. comparatively, rocking horses were much cheaper in real terms in Victorian times than they are now.
