Your Model Horse Collection Reference Guide 2014 Edition


Book Description

Breyerfest 25 Silver Anniversary Edition I've added a new section (Stablemate Animals), and details to the Peter Stone section. When I had 100 models I could still remember what I owned. When I had 300 models I computerized my records - and crated the first version of this list. That was 35 years ago. Breyer had added thousands of new models and hundreds of new molds. New (and old) companies have come and gone, or changed names. Detail started to escape me - was that the bay with 3 socks & black hooves, or the bay with 3 socks & pink hooves, or the bay with 4 socks version? There are just too many details and information to remember. When I first started in the hobby there were no books available, just box catalogs. When the chance came to computerize, I did. Since then I've relied on this list to track my collection, now at 4000+. This book is meant to be written in so you can track YOUR collection. See you at Breyerfest!




Your Model Horse Collection Reference Guide 2007 Edition


Book Description

Amazon Edition. When I hit 100 models I could still remember what I owned. When I hit 200 models I computerized my records - and created the first version of this list. That was over 25 years ago. Breyer has added thousands of new models and dozens of new molds. Details start to escape me - was that the 3 socks version or the 4 socks version? Many of my fellow collectors were hit by the hurricanes last year. They lost everything. They don't even have the bodies to show the claims adjusters. I keep thinking that if only they'd had this list they would have something to show. This book is meant to be a record of YOUR collection. You can write down if you own it or just want it. No more buying duplicates on e-Bay. Also available in a special Breyerfest spiral bound edition from the publisher.
