Stuart Figures and Accessories
Stuart saddle and bridle colors are brown, white, red, black and turquoise. Lead bridles (from color ad sheets) are turquoise or white. Stuart saddles are more squared off at the rear than Marx and have partial girths. Stuart bridles were made in two styles - one smaller with rosettes on the side and the other bridle is plain and fits the walking and rearing horses better. Both bridles were used for all horses. Pack saddles are red, turquoise, green and black. Stuart pack bundles are turquoise, blue, red and yellow.
Detachable hats were the kepi (military cap), Indian headdress, cowboy hat and coonskin cap, which were made in red, green, white and blue (from the 60s color ad sheets). Pioneer figure colors were palomino (tan), white, red, dark blue, light blue and gray.
Knockoffs: Red and white solid-body Hong Kong knockoff Stuart running horses have been spotted on eBay. They're difficult to tell apart but are marked Hong Kong on an inside leg. Check the Knockoffs page for more details.
There are sometimes painted, dyed and reproduction Stuart items for sale so be sure of what you are buying. Also see the Reproductions page for information.
