Time for a Reveal!

We hope all our BreyerFest Blog readers had an enjoyable weekend. Were you able to guess our clue?

When the Events Team discovered this niche snack food of yore, we knew we just HAD to name a BreyerFest model in honor of this delightful, donkey-driven confection.

 

 

In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Peanutine was a treat that was unique to the shores of Old Orchard Beach in Maine and sold to customers via a peanut-shaped wagon pulled by a tandem of donkeys. The recipe is simple and can be found here, and while there is little known about how many of these adorable wagons were made, their legacy lives on through beautiful postcards that have been preserved.

 

 

To pay tribute to this adorably odd piece of driving history, our Peanutine model has been done as a handsome dark brown spotted donkey on Brighty, mold #375, sculpted by the iconic Chris Hess.

 

 

This Special Run model will be available to VIP and All-Access Ticket holders and will make a great addition to your Brighty conga!  We will see you right back here on the BreyerFest Blog tomorrow for more!

I was one of the people that thought it would be Brighty and for once my guess was right. What a delightful bit of driving history! Peanutine is adorable and his namesake treat sounds delicious. I hope you’ll offer it at Breyerfest this year. It’d be fun for people to be able to eat Peanutine after receiving their Peanutine.

I know every detail of Brighty. I knew it was him and so did most everyone. But oh no looks like in person only. I hope there is a way to get him virtually or I’ll have to pay a fortune second hand!

Oh no!
It’s a pity that traditional online ticket holders won’t be able to buy this baby! He’s very cute!

Cute model and interesting story. Hope no one will be making this confection on site at BF due to those who are allergic as all it takes is touching something and an allergic person touching the same surface to cause a serious allergic reaction. Just smelling peanuts can cause problems. Don’t bring this to confection to BF please.
