Metlox of California Black & Gold Currier & Ives Horse This horse is part of the Nostalgia line by Metlox the Poppytrail division. There were many horse and carriages made in the 50' s and 60's as a part of this line and many were made in several sizes. I am not aware of how many sizes might have been made of this one as it is the only one I have ever seen in person.Napco copied at least a few of the Metlox horses that are so close it is nearly impossible to tell without having them side by side or unless they have ink stamped numbers which Metlox did not do. I personally have two,a Pony and a Circus horse. This is one of two Currier & Ives horses in my collection. He is the black with gold version. His eyes are gold. These got their name because they look so much like the horses you see in the old Currier & Ives paintings. I am not sure how many colors he came in as I have only seen the two colors I have. He has gold hooves,eyes and tack along with the eyes. He was in great shape when I bought him and took him to the car myself as I did not trust my husband to do it and promptly broke his extended foreleg! It is a clean break but does show a white line so could use touching up. He has no other damage and still has the original sticker also on the bottom with the wear you would expect. He is about 8" tall

Metlox of California Dapple Gray Currier & Ives Horse This horse is part of the Nostalgia line by Metlox the Poppytrail division.

I am not aware of how many sizes might have been made of this one as it is the only one I have ever seen in person.Napco copied at least a few of the Metlox horses that are so close it is nearly impossible to tell without having them side by side or unless they have ink stamped numbers which Metlox did not do. I personally have two,a Pony and a Circus horse. This is one of two Currier & Ives horses in my collection. He is the dapple gray version. His eyes are black with a thick upper liner. These got their name because they look so much like the horses you see in the old Currier & Ives paintings. I am not sure how many colors he came in as I have only seen the two colors I have. He is almost undamaged as all I found was a tiny surface glaze chip in the very tip of one ear that would just take a dot of paint to cover,and he has his original sticker on the bottom which is in pretty good shape for the age. He is about 8" tall.
