Sears: 1956 Kit Carson. Set included a Kit Carson rider with removable plastic hat, neckerchief, hunting knife, rifle and cavalry style saddle. The dark brown plastic saddle has molded on saddle blanket and bedroll with pull-through cinch. Original price $3.69. Same model as #P40.
These Prancer models were usually made from black or dark brown plastic and had a glossy appearance. The four socks were usually painted on and could have black or grey hooves. The face usually has a stenciled blaze that is rounded at the bottom, just on top of the nose. The mane and tail were the same color as the body. The breast collar and bridle were usually gold with brass chain reins.
Kit Carson has dark brown or black hair, light tan or grey jacket and dark brown pants and moccasins. He came with a removable hat, neckerchief, rifle and knife. There are two different variations of the knife, one released with the Indian, and one released for Crockett/Carson - see photos. Kit Carson and Davy Crockett are the same mold, sculpted by Chris Hess, and have no mold marks or Copyright stamps. One significant difference between these two molds, is Kit has a groove cut into the underside of his right hand to help hold his rifle.
