Interesting, this is a modified 'apple core' design with the middle removed and the horse head added. Additionally there is an odd notch at 12 o'clock, I suspect this is here a bell was hung prior to the head being added (there is an apple core with bell on eBay at the moment). I do not know if the addition of the bell or horse head were done by the original manufacturer or later by a creative owner.

As the "apple core with bell" is shown in the 1890's Hampson and Scott's Equine Album it is a pucker manufacturers variation.
