    Description

    This Tiny Mite Morgan hails from the Circle H era which was the early 70s. This iteration was so called because the logo on the package had an H in a circle and I think I remember it saying Circle H Ranch as well. My first set of 6 came from the grocery store when I was about 8 years old. The paint jobs on the Circle H era Tiny Mites are so fragile that it seemed like paint came off if you just looked at them, if you sneezed, the forward most front leg immediately broke off just below the knee on the Arabian. Okay, so that is a bit of an exaggeration, but I am sure you understand what I am getting at. Another interesting thing about the Tiny Mites is their ears. 5 of the 6 Tiny Mite molds have two different versions, on the earlier versions, the ears are separate like most models, on the later versions, the ears/mane all became one piece. The only exception is the Morgan, her ears were always made into her mane.
    This particular horse is the Belgian and as you can see, she has some paint missing, most of them do for the reasons mentioned above. She also has a paint transfer on the bottom right side of her barrel. It is interesting to note that she looks like she was probably painted upside down, her underneath area is darker and more completely sprayed than her topline. I don't think that really means anything, it's just an observation and I thought you might find it interesting.
    If you buy more than one Tiny Mite I will refund the shipping on all but the first one since I can easily ship them all for one price. I will be listing more in days to come as I have time. If there is something you are looking for, let me know and I will move it up in line to be listed. :)
    Be sure to follow my listings! I am liquidating my collection & I have lots of goodies left to list!

    I
    always ship things well packed in a box with tracking, not an envelope, so that your purchase arrives in the same shape you see in the photos. I ship Monday-Friday, I do not ship on Saturday. If your purchase is made by 7:00 PM Eastern Time then it will go out the next day that I ship. (Purchases made after 7:00 PM EDT on Thursday and through Sunday will ship on the following Monday.) I take all packages to work with me (and take them in, I don't leave things in the hot car) and drop them off at the post office in the early afternoon on my way home. I stand in line and make sure that your package is scanned and the tracking process is started. I pack and ship your purchase the way that I would want mine to be packed. I care about my customers.
