Breyer traditional scale Black Beauty

Description

This is the original Black Beauty, Breyer's #89.  This version is the 1981 release.  Apparently there was some dispute or confusion on which leg had a white stocking.  IN 1981 only, there was a single white hind leg stocking.  All other years have different variations.
This horse has ear rubs and they are very easy to fix.  Do not use a sharpie marker.  Sharpie markers fade to purple! Use acrylic or oil paint or even low gloss water based enamel.  Use thin coats.  Black Beauty is a lustrous black, not a flat Mars black.
I am listing a bunch of traditional models at .00.  It's a place to start with a price.  Most of these models are in excellent to very good condition and if they have flaws I illustrate them. Feel free to make an offer if my price isn't in line with the model's value.
These horses are from my personal collection.  They have been kept out of direct sunlight in a smoke free environment.  They have spent minimal time in crates or boxes and have not been exposed to extreme temperature changes.  Your purchase supports Redbird, a 501(c)(3) Native American and environmental non profit association.  Redbird's land base in the Angeles National Forest, Chilao School, is a rural, rustic location where we hold the annual Models in the Mountains Live Show.  Redbird is an authorized Breyer dealer.
