Justin Morgan
The Justin Morgan mold was introduced in 1977 and is named for the main character in Marguerite Henry's novel Justin Morgan Had a Horse. It has the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp as well as the "U.S.A." stamp, with some also having the "B" stamp. It was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #65.
A symbol means that I don't yet have a picture of that model. If you can help, please see the Help Wanted section. Clicking on any photo below will open a larger version of that picture.

Found at yard sale shortly after Marney Walerius' death. | |||||
