Remark :

Based on the success of the Mobo Bronco, in 1949 the 'Walking SNAIL' was introduced at the New York Toy Fair, also at the same fair the 'PONY' was first shown. The 'Pony' pressings went on to be used on several different toys - PONY ROCKER, PIONEER WAGON, PONY EXPRESS, PONY KART, PONY BUGGY, SURREY TROTTER, TODDLE PONY.

The Pony Express proved very popular as it was a dual purpose toy that could be used as a pushchair for the younger child and then, with the accessories removed, a pedal car.

The doll is not part of the original toy but added for exhibition
