Designer: Tom Masterson

Production Dates:

Mold Book Name: Horse

Notes: This is also known as Saddle Horse, style 1. There are two versions of this mold, with different drawings on the Fall 1951 vs. 1952-1954 order forms. The feet-apart version appears to be the earlier one, so it must be A-146 (listed in the Mold Book in July 1951), while the later version with feet together is A-169 (July 1952).
