On identifying production date and company name, Anne comments: You might like to have a look in the section "Dicontinued models", and under "Year of Manufacture" for the Date Letters. There is more history in the discontinued models section, how I started, the first dog models, etc. which you can mine for information if you wish. I usually hand write with a sharp point on the raw clay model: Lenham Pottery Models, Norwich, (my initials) AF, and then the date letters, A starting in 1970. Now it is MM6, for 2006. This might be abbreviated to LPM AF MM6 on a smaller tummy than the Suffolk. I had to change from Lenham Pottery to Lenham Pottery Models because, otherwise, people expected me to make pots! I do make pots, but only at 1/12th scale for the Dolls House market.
Horses are produced in three sizes, 1/8th, 1/10th and 1/12th. If you want to know more the e-mail address is
