MEET THE GLOSSY CHESTNUT FIVE GAITER TEST PIECE!

 

EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLECTOR CLUB MEMBERS

Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members!  Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture.  Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway.  Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested.  Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.

Chris Hess�s iconic Five Gaiter (mold #52) comes to life in a shaded fiery chestnut with detailed eyes and a healthy coat of gloss! This striking Saddlebred was likely created sometime in the early 2000s. His coat is solid with no white markings, and his ribbon is unpainted. This model was created on older whiteware, as designated by the U.S.A. stamp alongside the Breyer Molding Co. logo on his inside right leg.

This test model is in excellent condition overall, with a few small hoof edge rubs from being handled over the years. There are also a few tiny black marks underneath his gloss finish. See gallery for details. This piece of Breyer history is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Please do not enter for the chance to purchase unless you are committed to purchasing this special test run piece if chosen.
