METAL HORSE COLLECTIONS (2001)--304 pages--originally sold for $39.95--features metal horse figurines, not only free standing pieces but also bookends, clocks, bottle openers, salt and pepper shakers, and many other collectible items with a 3-dimentional metal horse composition. Over 1300 photographs (with descriptions and values) are included in this book. It is fully up-to-date...values have not changed significantly since publication.

This book focuses on collectible mass-produced works from Carnival pieces to works created by famous artists (i.e. Gladys Brown Edwards and P. DiNapoli) and companies (i.e. DODGE, JB Jennings Bros, K&O, Champion, Trophy Craft, Nuart). Most were made in the early to mid-1900s.

Available ONLY from the author--You will NOT find it any cheaper than right on eBay! It is the FIRST AND ONLY book to cover this topic extensively.

Turn your horse hobby into a treasure hunting adventure! It is such fun to search for these beautiful pieces in antique shops AND they appear regularly on eBay, often listed by sellers who have no idea of history or value of the pieces. One informed metal horse purchase could justify the cost of the book.

Breyer, Hartland and Stone collectors should consider adding a few of these beautiful old antiques to their collections...they are the forerunners of the hobby--the real antiques!

METAL HORSE COLLECTIONS contents: 1) Art/Souvenir/Toy with and without tack and/or rider: cowboys, cowgirls, Native Americans, Jockeys, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Famous people, soldiers, knights. 2) Souvenir: painted or one color. 3) Carnival pieces. 4) Harness horses with and without vehicle. 5) Various horse items: pencil sharpeners, bells, keychains, uniform decorations, wall items, hooks, bottle openers, tools, kitchen items, dishes, desk items (inkwells), bookends, clocks, finials and other outdoor items, a few trophies, harness brasses, and a sampling of antique jewelry. 6) An extensive notes section. 7) Artist and company information.

All the common breeds are represented in the book: Arabian, Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, American Saddlebred, Morgan, Tennessee Walker, Draft horse breeds, etc. However, a specific breed is not named for each piece, as this can be very tricky in many cases and is not necessary information for the general collector.

Typical collector book format (8 1/2" x 11") with the usual soft-cover binding, officially called "perfect" binding. Photos are good quality, black and white. Color would be pretty but expensive! And these pieces are easily identified with these sharp, clear photos. Paper is excellent quality, semi-gloss. Layouts are artfully constructed.

Shipping cost is $3.50 by media mail which usually takes 7-10 days. Priority shipping would have to be determined by zip code of buyer.
