Misty
The Misty mold is a portrait model of the horse made famous in Marguerite Henry's book Misty of Chincoteague. The mold has both the round "Breyer Molding Co." and "U.S.A." mold stamps, and occasionally the "B" stamp as well. First introduced in 1972, she has been in production ever since. Misty was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #20.
