Here’s one that is very special to me, a Hagen-Renaker Topper. He was given to me as a teenager by my aunt, who had purchased him when she was a teenager for her own collection during the original very short run in the 1950s. I love everything about this horse - the amazing Maureen Love sculpture of a very typey Quarter Horse, the sweet glossy palomino finishwork, the soft, pleasant expression, and even the crazing that my particular copy has had as long as I’ve known him.

Toppers are very uncommon, and of the few that I’ve seen, this one is IMHO the best individual. Not that I’m biased. :-)

    I have those foals in my early collection as well, and in a couple of colors! They are so cute, and I must also say, a true miracle of mass production pulling those tiny legs from the mold and for the very low price point too.
