Smoky

The Smoky mold was introduced in 1981 and is named for the main equine character in the book Smoky the Cow Horse by Will James. It has the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp, and some may also have the "B" stamp. Like its namesake, the mold also has a Rocking R brand on the near shoulder. It was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #69.

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.
