Breyer Elk Traditional Scale Brass Metal Copy Vintage

Description

I am SO disappointed I have to give this guy up! This is a lovely vintage brass copy of Breyer's traditional scale elk. He was likely cast directly from the plastic model, as the size and proportions are exactly the same and he has really nice detailing. I originally got him with the idea of building up more of a Breyer elk conga with this guy being an uncommon "variation", but unfortunately after a few months here on the coast (less than a mile away from the Pacific Ocean) he picked up a few surface tarnish/corrosion spots so he needs to go somewhere a little less salty. (Fair warning, I just cleaned him up before these photos but you'll likely want to give him another good polish once he arrives at your place.)
There are a number of metal copies of Breyer models floating around, most famously the Western Horse in brass, die-cast Stablemates, and a whole lineup of models from Old Timer to the horned Hereford Bull in cast iron, and I've even seen a brass moose copy. But this is the only elk copy I've seen, and I know I'm going to kick myself for selling him, even though I know he's better off in a less salty environment. My loss is your gain--this is a rare addition to your elk conga!
(Apologies for the shipping costs; this guy is HEAVY, weighing about three and a quarter pounds, and he's going to need a good-sized box for those antlers.)
