Mike Jackson’s Hartland Photos:
Hartland Figures with White Pants

Text & Photographs Copyright Mike Jackson 1998-2008

Only a few Hartland Figures had white pants. The Champ Cowboy and Cowgirl shared the red and white color scheme. Additionally, the Jockey figure that rode Turf King, the race horse, had white pants and a red shirt.

Champ Cowboy #801
After the larger 900 series Champ style cowboys, Hartland started producing the smaller 800 series sets. I believe the first of these were created near the end of 1953 and into 1954 with this mold later being turned over to the Lone Ranger. They also created several other color schemes of this figure. This figure usually had two Champ style silver pistols.

Mold Mark:
“Hartland Molded, Hartland, Wisc.” on the back of the left chap.

Cowgirl #802
The Red and White Cowgirl is more common but probably about equal to the olive green version below. She has one gun and can ride a variety of colors of Champ style horses.

A single version of this figure with the red top and olive green bottoms is known to exist (factory paint anyway) in on display in the Roy Rogers Museum in California.

Mold Mark: None
The Jockey/Turf King #811
This set showed up in the 1956 brochure for one year and then vanished. We can speculate that the Turf King and Jockey did not fit into their Historical Western Horsemen theme. They aren’t necessarily rare, so they must have sold quite a few of them. They may have been sold for several years after leaving the standard brochures, possibly in the same means as the Black Beauty sets which are never seen in the brochures. He carries a very rare crop in his right hand.
