Reeves-Breyer Horse Models
Back in 1950, the Breyer Molding Company was very busy making a wide variety of plastic parts for other companies and the government. The parts were used in products like airplanes, TV's, radios and swing clocks, just to name a few. One of their clients, MasterCrafters Clock Company, asked them to mold a plastic horse for mounting on a mantel clock. The result? Number 57, The Western Horse, Breyer's first. After the Western Horses for the clocks were produced, MasterCrafters gave the metal mold to Breyer in lieu of payment. At the same time, toy and horse collectors across the country had heard of the horse's remarkable authenticity and demand grew rapidly. And the rest, as they say, is history.
