Breyer Saddle Stands

I have wanted a couple of these for some time, so when Breyer sent me a coupon good on sale items and for free shipping, home they came!

Breyer Saddle Stands, #281, $7 each, Breyer web site, 12/2014.

Breyer Blankets

I have a small collection of Breyer blankets that I wish to document.

 BreyerFest 1999 10th Anniversary blanket, probably a gift from Beth Dickinson.

 World Equestrian Games blanket, #9133, $10?, I bought this online along with two WEG pins.

Rambo blanket, $10, #3828, bought  new from Breyer, 12/2014.

BreyerFest Silver Jubilee blanket, #711198, $6, Debra Younack, Hillsboro, NJ, 1/2015

Reference - Chalky Plastic Misty

These pictures are of a chalky plastic Misty that was on eBay in December, 2014.

 It sold for $128!

 There is one similar to it at Countryside Antiques. I may pop down there and get it.

A Model from Sarah's Family

Sarah and her crew got this for me from Bear Country, USA near Rapid City, North Dakota.

 Bear Chief Figurine, Westland Giftware/Union City, CA, SKU 20356, Christmas gift (probably about $45), 12/2014, Sarah, Todd, JC, and Trinity Coleman.

 I don't know much about the brand so I took pictures of the box.

 I did not save it.

Sarah especially likes the connection to the collection she has of Cherished Teddies that she began when she was in high school. I like that connection, too!

Hartland Nativity Set

Both Hagen Renaker and Hartland made nativity sets. I'd love to own both some day. Here is a photo of Sande Schneider's Hartland one.

Some day!!

Racehorse

I have wanted one of these oldies for a long time, so when I saw one posted on MH$P at $25 ppd, I jumped at the chance. That is SUCH a good deal! (And I knew the seller, so I knew it was a safe purchase.)

 Breyer #36 Race Horse, 1956-1967, $25, Andrea Gurdon, Romeo, MI, 12/2014.

 He's an early version with black hooves and he has the charcoal forelock, a variation of the piece.

He's also glossy. Call me a happy collector!!
