70th Anniversary Saddlebred

Breyer is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and they are putting out some lovely models for it. I generally collect only vintage molds, but I could not resist Hamilton in palomino!

 70th Anniversary Saddlebred, 1825, 2020, $42, The Model Trading Post.

Palomino Grazing Mare

Lisa and I were at Countryside Antiques yesterday and in the very last booth, I found this!

Palomino Grazing Mare, #143 (no USA stamp), $12, Countryside Antiques, Lebanon, Indiana.

I saw her and said, "Well, now!" in exclamation. I think I will call her that.

She is a gorgeous metallic palomino, a little yellowed, and was a bit dirty. Her gorgeous highlights showed up after I gave her a bath. Now she's the perfect mama for my metallic palomino Grazing Foal.
