Mold Book Name: Appaloosa
Notes: This mold was not named by the factory, but is known as “Love” to collectors.
Some early Appaloosas had marks cut into the white blanket during production, in a process known as sgraffito, to guide the decorators in painting the spots. Spots were simply free-handed onto later pieces.
