Pegasus
Pegasus was another of Julip's very early competitors in the early 1960s. Like Julip at the time, Pegasus was located in London.
Molds were around 1:12 scale, around 3-6 inches tall at the withers. There were a variety of breeds available as well as tack, pets, stables, riders, and other accessories. The brand was only around for a few years and examples are extremely rare.
Some identifying characteristics seem to be long, very thin legs, narrow heads, large eyes, and a tendency to "go over" their forelegs as they age.
Very little is known about Pegasus, but there are a few Facebook groups where information might surface, specifically CAROUSEL the 'CTF' Model Horse Owners' Group, Model Horse Vintage Group, and British Model Horse Collectors.
