Collector Details
A miniature accompanied the Japanese Takara Red line introduced in 1990. It became part of the wider effort to make the recognizable Blanton’s presentation available in a small format, with its own label and stopper variations for collectors to distinguish.
Types 1 and 2 have a cruder stopper casting, visible beneath the horse, while the Type 3 casting is more refined. Variations in the position of the horse’s tail also distinguish the stoppers. Type 1 was produced before 1993 and spells Blanton’s without the final “s.”
Rarity cannot be determined by type, although all are generally very rare.
