#18: Breyer Model Horses
Ever come across Breyer Horses? These intricately detailed toy models of horses aren’t just for play – they’re a passion for collectors who love to paint and customize them. But get this: one of these models recently fetched an astonishing $22,000 at auction! That’s no small change, especially considering they originally sold for $300-600.
This model, named “Alborozo,” wasn’t just any horse. It was hand-painted and boasted a unique feature that set it apart. Moreover, the mold used to craft these beauties was destroyed, making Alborozo the last of its kind. And you know what they say – rarity equals value. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the world of collectors, where even the most unexpected treasures can fetch a fortune!
