Florentine Running Mare #2120
Produce 1963(?)-1964
Original White Chicago box!
With COA. Purchased from the estate of Doris Delizia and Rebecca Kahl. This model was purchased from a family collection that began during the time of 1950s Breyer and spanned several generations. All original finish. No repairs or enhancements.
The Running Mare was introduced in about 1961 with only the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp. In 1970 the "U.S.A." stamp was added, and some of these also have the "B" stamp. Beginning in 1983 or 1984 and running through 1993 the mold had a flattened off (right) side eye, with less definition to the corner of the cheekbone as well. In 1994 this flat eye was fixed, although the area around the eye remains flawed. The 1994 eye is larger and sticks out more than pre-1983 models. The Running Mare was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #120.
NOTE: Glossy models cause glare. White areas are reflections and not rubs. This can be verified by viewing all photos to see if any spot in question disappears at different angles.
All Breyer and Stone models are original finish and have never had any repair, customization or alteration.
