Hartland Cherry Woodcut Mustang

Yesterday, I drove down to Countryside Antiques to shop for horses. While I found several things there, it was either way overpriced or something I had or did not want.

On the way home, I drove through Frankfort and discovered it had some antique shops. I only shopped at one, and was just about to leave when I spied this piece.
Hartland Cherry Woodcut Mustang, #886C, 1964-1966, $10, Peddler Antique Mall, Frankfort, Indiana, 7/2015


 I already had a super nice example of this piece in my collection, but the price was so god, I brought it home anyway. (Lynn's Model Horse Rescue at its finest!)
 The new piece is smaller than the one I already had and it's color is darker.
The right hind leg appears a little warped, causing it to sit lower and lean. But it is most definitely smaller.

I asked on the Facebook Hartland Collectors' forum if there were shrinky Hartlands like there are Breyers, and got an answer within four minutes. Cheryl Johnson sent these pictures of her shrinky.
