  The films "Fifty Fifty Girl" and "Street Angel" were released in 1928, so 1927 might be a little too early! :)

  In its prime, the rocking horse raced past other toys to become an envied playroom piece of its time. It was enhanced, improved and made safer over time, with its popularity skyrocketing. Then the rocking horse all but faded away, until waves of nostalgia and a longing for this old fashioned favorite once again took root. The history of the rocking horse is one of a handcrafted wooden rocking horse, and it includes the story of two toy horses that came before it, the hobby horse and the barrel horse. During the medieval times, the hobby horse was the horse of choice. The hobby horse design featured a fake horse’s head that was attached to a long stick. Little ones would throw one leg over the stick to “get on” and gallop around with delight. The hobby horse design is still popular today, inspiring creative play and movement. During the 16th century the barrel horse came, well, barreling onto the scene, if you will. A barrel horse design featured a big round log that was supported by four legs with a handcrafted horse head. This gave kiddie riders more room to sit on than the hobby horse. It wasn’t until the 17th century that current rocking horse designs appeared in Europe, around the same time that bow rockers were invented. The specific place of origin and who exactly invented the rocking horse are unknown. Original rocking horses were made of solid wood and could tip over easily. In 1880, Philip Marqua from Cinncinnati contributed to the rocking horse with his invention of the “safety stand.” The safety stand offered a glider type base that was safer than the classic bow rockers and it also took up less space in motion.
