This company is based in California and produced a line of horse figurines called Poppytrails. The model pictured also comes in a team of eight with a Budweiser beer wagon.

Company history from : Metlox Manufacturing Company was established in 1927 by Willis and T. C. Prouty in Manhattan Beach, California. Prior to about 1934, Metlox Pottery produced ceramic and neon outdoor signs. About 1934, the comapny began producing ceramic housewares for which they subsequently became quite well known. The famous Poppy Trail line was introduced in that same year, the design creation of the President Willis Prouty, and the company soon introduced innovations which allowed them to speed production while at the same time lowering their costs. The most highly sought Metlox patterns are the work of the sculptor Carl Romanelli who designed art pottery and dinnerware for the company in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and again briefly in the 1950s. The company produced dinnerware, cookie jars, and miniatures. The Nastalia line was comprised of items whose design was reminescent of the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as locomotives, gramaphones, cars, coaches, and baby carriages. Some of the more valuable pieces are wagons and carts pulled by horses or donkeys, often with separately manufactured passengers. From the mid 1960s through the mid 1970s, 'Poppets' were produced, 86 in all, representing characters ranging from royalty and various professions to a grouping of Salvation Army workers. Most came with a name tag and paper labels. Some of the more popular lines are Red Rooster, California Provincial, Colonial Homestead and Homestead Provincial, as well as Poppytrail. The company continued production until going out of business in 1989,.

Please read : I do not thoroughly clean items that I have received. I prefer to let the buyer do so because I would not want to damage the finish. I try to always note any problems with the pieces (chips, scratches, cracks...etc) but you need to know that if the item is not new, it will probably need a little cleaning. Also, I do not claim to be an expert on the items that I sell. I make every effort to research the items before listing them and describe them as best as I can. Because many items are from estates, in addition to my research the only information I get is from the family as to the age of the item. I try to be as accurate and honest as possible. T is nothing to hide. Most of all, I want you to be satisfied with your purchase.
