I’m getting really drawn into the world of 19th century English drawings

I'm pretty smitten with these vintage horse mugs

Colmor "Light Up" Dexterity Puzzle, c 1930s brass figurine as is its traditional purposeThis is one of three Colmor dexterity puzzles I'm listing, all from the 1930s or so, and the graphics of which I just love, looking very classic Dick Tracy esque to me. In this one the task is to roll the four silver balls in the cutouts on the headlights, which takes quite a bit of finesse, especially as the car itself sits atop the backdrop, floating around as one tries to the land the balls! 5" x 3 1 2" x 1 2" and in great vintage condition.
