Glossy Dapple Gray Running Mare
#123
”Sugar” Running Mare
Nice pinking!
Produced 1961/1963-1973
This model is from a very large and much-loved collection that’s been quietly treasured over the years. These horses been kept safe in a protective glass cabinet, and it shows.
The Running Mare was introduced in about 1961 with only the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp. In 1970 the "U.S.A." stamp was added, and some of these also have the "B" stamp. Beginning in 1983 or 1984 and running through 1993 the mold had a flattened off (right) side eye, with less definition to the corner of the cheekbone as well. In 1994 this flat eye was fixed, although the area around the eye remains flawed. The 1994 eye is larger and sticks out more than pre-1983 models. The Running Mare was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #120.
NOTE: Glossy models cause glare. White areas are reflections and not rubs. This can be verified by viewing all photos to see if any spot in question disappears at different angles.
