Vintage Breyer Traditional Model Horse Misty of Chincoteague #20

Description: My guess is this is the Sears version from around 1972-1973 (see model information below from breyerhorseref website) as that was about the timeframe I was collecting Breyer horses & my mom shopped at Sears a LOT. It is in mint condition - so scratches or damage at all (I was very gentle with my items as a child). ----------------------------------- Palomino Paint released as a single model #20/#207 from 1972-2006. Color varies from a light tan to a yellow orange to a dark chestnut color. There have been many variations with the pinto pattern. The first releases of 1972 are referred to as 'Four Eyed', and have a circle of white around the left eye, a slightly different pinto pattern, grey hooves, and most have a glossy finish. This variation was quickly changed as that spot did not represent the real Misty. Around 1973, there was a variation to the common pinto pattern that extended over the entire back. These models also had a glossy finish and grey hooves. The more common models have pink hooves. Ongoing research to find more photos of the different variations. Models released in the first 3 months of 1997 had bicolor eyes.
