Hanley Antiques in Elkins Park recently received a well-traveled Lone Ranger horse look-alike, the Republican Herald reported.

According to their coverage, the 8-foot-tall, 250-pound white stallion mannequin was displayed for generations in the window of H.R. Knapp Leather Goods shop in Pottsville until the store went out of business in 1987.

Pottsville Antique Center owner Julian “Jay” Yupcavage bought the horse from an anonymous antique dealer in the late 1990s and sold it to a New York antique dealer in 2002 for $7,500. Following its New York purchase, the horse was reportedly used as a model in a designer clothing commercial and for a photo shoot in Hermès, a Parisian designer handbags company.

The whereabouts of Pottsville’s “horse with no name” was unknown for years before Hanley Antiques’ owner Joe Hanley bought it in 2016.

Built to display saddles, bridles and harness gear, the horse’s origins remain a mystery, though it is believed to date back to the 1860s. The body and head are made of canvas and plaster stretched over a wooden frame, the Herald said.

The horse has a $16,500 price tag, but Hanley told the Herald that it’s not for sale.

To visit the horse, you can head to Hanley Antiques at 400 Harrison Avenue. For more on the shop, you can visit their Facebook page.
