Mike Jackson’s Hartland Photos:
Hartland Cowboy Figures

Text & Photographs Copyright Mike Jackson 1998-2008


Hartland painted two Cowboys with green pants; Earp and Buffalo Bill. The color of green used on each figure is slightly different. They also created the two olive colored Dale Evans and a pale olive early Champ Cowgirl with a jade green shirt.

Buffalo Bill #819
This colorful character carries two guns, either silver or brown and rides on a special U.S. Mail saddle specific to him. It’s not in the hardest group to find, but is not that common either. I don’t know of any figure variations, though he may have ridden two or three versions of the similar Chestnut semi-rearing horse molds.

Wyatt Earp #809
Wyatt was one of Hartland’s first characters and remained in production almost to the end. He is one of the more common sets. Intitially, I am fairly certain he came with two silver pistols. After the introduction of the Earp Gunfighter, he probably started shipping with the brown Buntline and matching brown pistol. He seems to have been placed on several different horses.

Cowgirl #802
The Jade Green Cowgirl is probably the first one Hartland made and is the hardest of them to find. She may have been paired with any number of colors of Champ style horses, but I am fairly certain she did come on a Palomino.

Mold Mark:
None

Early Green Dale Evans #802DE
The earliest Dale Evans used the Cowgirl molds and were just given a new olive green outfit. They were paired with a Dunn and Brown Champ style horse and used the same cardboard shipping box, but DE was added to the end of the number. She can also be found on a Chubby horse with unmolded bridle which has a painted bridle instead. Within a period of time, this figure was replaced with the Dale figure below. With as many of these pieces as there are around, that must have taken a while.
Mold Mark: None

Green Dale Evans #802 (DE)
This if the official Dale Evans figure, molded after her likeness. She got the new brown saddle (same mold as the Clayton Moore Lone Ranger) and the new Chubby style Dunn horse with the bridle but kept the old number. Some sets were shipped in the earlier cardboard boxes but she eventually did get a new colorized box which shows her and Roy Rogers. She has one pistol, usually silver.
