Man O' War

The Man O' War mold was introduced in 1967 and is the portrait model of legendary race horse Man O' War. The mold initially had only the round "Breyer Molding Co." stamp, while later models have the "U.S.A." mold stamp as well. Some models have also have the "B" stamp. The mold comes with a molded-on halter, was sculpted by Chris Hess, and is Breyer mold #47.

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.
