METAL HORSE FIGURINES

Big changes here on my website!  First of all, I will still have my Gladys Brown Edwards Equine Works in Metal book for sale as you will see immediately following this introduction.  On this same page below I will be listing photographs and information about metal horse figurines that I photographed after 2004, that is after the publication of the book that it would belong in.  I will call this part of the pages METAL HORSE FIGURINES SUPPLEMENT 1-2-3. It will be a supplement to all three books.  I'm sure you will realize as you look at the pages that there has been a great deal of work involved in photographing and recording information about each piece, and then unbelievable hours involved in creating this website, not to mention the expense in purchasing the site space. Please consider making a donation to help maintain this website.​​
The SUPPLEMENT part of this website is a work in progress...please be patient as I add a few figurines each day.  It is slow, tedious work...check back often!
Pages 4, 5, and 6 are currently blank, but eventually will be filled.
If you are viewing this website with a mobile device, it may be scrambled. I'm working on it!
This website will mean the most to you if you already own all three of my books, or at least one of the books.  If you do, you will understand the numbering system that I use.  In case you don't have them, I'll explain: I have assigned an arbitrary number to each piece that I include.  This is my own system and does not apply to any other publication.  The number can be used among metal horse collectors who have my books to discuss any of the pieces included in the books or here on this website.  You should also know that if a piece has a set of initals at the end of the description (such as DNcol or LPGcol), that piece belongs to another collector who allowed me to photograph their collection OR they sent me the photo and the information.  If there are no initials at the end of the description, the piece belongs in my own personal collection.
OK, here we go:  First a word from my sponsor, that is the one book I still have copies to sell.

Welcome to Carolyn Martin's Metal Horse Figurines

 
I have published three books of metal horse figurines. The focus/scope of these books is mass-produced equine figurines made of cast metal, most are plated gray metal, but also lead, cast iron, brass, and pewter.  Most were produced in the early to mid-1900s by U.S. foundries, such as Hubley, Jennings Brothers, K&O (Kronheimer and Oldenbusch), Dodge, Trophy Craft, Champion Products, etc.  Quality varies from heavy, artfully designed, beautifully finished pieces to cheaper hollow cast figurines. They were sold as souvenirs or inexpensive art items in gift shops, department stores and tack shops and catalogs.  Some, the cheaper ones, were used as carnival prizes, hence the name "carnival horse," and many of these are marked "MADE IN JAPAN." 
Having done extensive research, I can assure you that these are the ONLY books available on this topic.  I have a considerable cost and time investment in this project, but it has been a labor of love. And I've met some wonderful people and made some great new friends!  My first and second books have sold out and will not be reprinted.  My third book, GLADYS BROWN EDWARDS Equine Works in Metal (2008), is still for sale on this website and on eBay.

Gladys Brown Edwards    
Equine Works in Metal (2008, but timeless!)


Gladys Brown Edwards was a famous author and artist in the mid-1900s.  She molded, painted, sculpted and otherwise created many wonderful works of art.
She wrote books on horse conformation that are still highly referenced.
This book includes over 200 models of her equine designs 
produced in plated gray metal by the Ray E. Dodge Company 
and also a few by the Metal Corporation of America.
​​
Most were produced from the early 1930s through the 1960s.
A sampling of dogs and other non-equine models are also included.
Value estimates are given for each piece.  Even with time and market fluctuations, these estimates are relevant as they denote the quality and rarity of each piece.
152 pages, B&W photos, soft cover, perfect binding. ISBN: 978-0-9746808-2-8

I am considering offering my first two books in a PDF file format.  I'm not yet sure how to do this, but if you are interested, please let me know (contact info below), so that I will be inspired to do the necessary research to find out how this can be done.
See Page 7 of this website for tables of content listing categories for all three books.  Also some book reviews.
I would be happy to sign my books, but I do so only on request.
These pages are intended as a supplement to all three of my books (see above).  I use the same numbering system that I used in the books.  It is an arbitrary system that I came up with to make it easy to reference any one piece.  It works very well among collectors who have my books and are familiar with my system.  In suggesting a value, I will use the early 2000s time frame, so that comparisons among book values and these pieces will work.  I will also use the same basis for determining a value estimate, that is quality, rarity, and desirabilty of the piece,  Monetary values fluctuate over the years, but these factors remain stable.  Also as stated in my books, at auction, pieces often go for about half my value estimate.  So please apply judgement to the current trends when deciding whether a piece is worth what you might purchase or sell it for.  A set of initials near the end of the description (such as DNcol or LPcol) mean it is from another person's collection. At he bottom of each page you will find a key to the names represented by the initials. No initials means it is part of my collection.
Book name abbreviations:  MHC=METAL HORSE COLLECTIONS      MHF=METAL HORSE FIGURINES     
                                                                    GBE=GLADYS BROWN EDWARDS...                    

Measurements are from lowest point of the figure to the highest point (usually table to ear tips). I do not do side to side lengths or weights (except to mention if a piece is unusually heavy for its size).  Values are guesses (see above for factors). I have been wrong a time or two in the past.  Please use your own knowledge and judgement.

Please remember that these pieces are additional to what is shown in my books.  I plan to add value guestimates eventually.  Currently, I'm just trying to load all additional pieces from my own notes and others that have been sent to me.  Meanwhile, I have included what a figurine cost (or was sold for) when purchased if I have that information.

10.145  1 5/8" Bronze Bucephalus replica purchased on eBay from Tim Farley, son of the author of THE BLACK STALLION, Walter Farley.  It came with a new edition of the book along with some interesting brochures about the history of the book, etc.  I paid $75 for the set in 2012.  On eBay in 2013, this horse sold separately "used" for $53.  Then in 2013, the horse and book sold for $172.50 (w/shipping).  That same week, the horse alone sold for $104 and then the set again sold for $168.  However, recently (2021) this piece is listing for much less.  This is the only actual BRONZE piece I have in my collection.  Grey Forest adds: "I saw the Bucephalus figurine in two colors on Etsy for $59.99."

The above photo is for comparison of the GBE/Dodge piece (left--see GBE book page 123) and the DiNapoli/Champion piece (right).  The packs are different and the GBE piece has one ear up while the DiNapoli piece has both ears forward.  Also the DiNapoli piece is smaller.

10.698  Horse & metal base:
2 1/4" (5.6cm). Onyx base is 3/4".  Purchased in a Michigan shop in 2013 for $26. Piece leans a little, legs look stressed, but none are broken.
10.705  2 1/4" (5.8cm) Looks cast iron, but magnet does not attract.
13.013  No data on this one, Very similar to the Hubley foal I use as my logo (see top of this page and MHF 12.000) but it has a different tail. The Hubley piece is 2 3/8" while this one (also seen on a matchbook holder, 520.150 on this website) is 2 1/2" (6.2cm) in dark bronze and marked McClelland Barclay.  McClelland Barclay Company started at about the same time as Dodge, and it was eventually bought out by Dodge.  Both  were pre-dated by the Hubley company (1894), so it could be assumed the Hubley model came first.  However, McClelland Barclay was started by an artist who sold his own designs.  So who knows whose design was the original?

I'm not sure of the measurements of these 3.  I also don't know who copied who, which came first!  These from Italy are obviously reproductions, but reproduced from what?  Some very old pieces?  Grey Forest contributes this info:  These "look like copies of Hagen-Renaker molds sculpted by Maureen Love in 1959 and used by Breyer for the first Stablemates in 1975."
