Stud Spider
The Stud Spider mold was introduced in 1978 and is a portrait model of the famous Appaloosa stallion owned by actor James Brolin. The mold has the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp, and some models also have the "B" stamp. Stud Spider was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #66.
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.
