Breyer Test Color Quarter Horse Gelding Lottery For Collector’s Club
Welcome to a new week everyone! Breyer once again holding a Test Color lottery for current Collector’s Club Members. This one is the old Quarter Horse Gelding molding in an equally old style red roan! He is direct from the Breyer Archives and will include a COA.
Breyer nicknamed this piece Red. Current Collector’s Club members may enter once a day until October 27th for a chance to win the right to purchase this horse. The Test Color Quarter Horse Gelding’s purchase price is $850 which includes shipping and handling. I find it nice that Breyer includes the cost of shipping on their Test Color lotteries. If you are logged into your Breyer Collector’s Club account, you can see the the Red Roan Quarter Horse Gelding directly at this link.
Here is what the Breyer website has to say about Red:
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. Test run models are sold as is, with several photos and descriptions of any wear. We’ve decided not to attempt to touch up older test runs as we’ve found that this can alter their character and uniqueness. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece. We enjoy sharing these special pieces with you and hope you enjoy them!
Red, as we’ve nicknamed him, is a test color Quarter Horse Gelding. He sports a vintage splatter red roan coat reminiscent of 1970’s Breyer roans, with a pink muzzle and grey hooves. His halter is hand painted black with gold hardware. Red has been gracing our archive for nearly ten years and he’s ready for a change of pace! He is mostly free from flaws. He has a small rub that is hard to see but that can be felt on the point of the right hip. He’s also got a couple of minor hoof edge rubs. Otherwise he’s in great shape and excited about discovering a new home! Red is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Only 1 piece is available for purchase.
Please do not enter for the chance to purchase unless you are committed to purchasing this special test run piece if chosen.
