Note: I sold this piece for cost plus shipping to Demise Gimmarro, 2032 Hunter's Creek Dr., Superior Two., MI 48198 on January 2, 2019. I just did not feel good about spending that much money on a piece that I didn't really like.
My Hagen Renaker Tennessee Nostalgia arrived while we were in Florida and I only just had a moment to open it. Kristina and her crew did a marvelous job - the shading is lovely.
HR TN Nostalgia Grulla, Love mold #749, 116 pieces made, HR Tennessee, 12/2018.
This piece cost more than I usually feel comfortable paying for a horse, whether it be plastic or clinky.
But I decided to purchase it and then see what it looked like in-hand. So often pieces look very different from their promo photos. My photos aren't the best, but I do think it looks nice in person!
Someone has scratched the letter "H" in the near hind hoof. I'll have to do a little research as I was not expecting that. Is it the initials of the painter? (Christina Harrington, perhaps?) That would be my guess.
Overall I am pleased with my Nostalgia. I am going to enjoy it for a while and then decide after the holidays if this piece is staying in my collection or not.
Kudos to Kristina and her crew for producing these!
