Black Beauty
The Black Beauty mold was introduced in 1980 and is named for the equine star of Anna Sewell's classic novel Black Beauty, the Autobiography of a Horse. The mold has the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp, with later models having the "B" stamp as well. Black Beauty was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #3040BB.
A
