Years ago, I found this piece new in box at a model horse show. It was a sought after piece then, but the seller either did not know that or just wanted to get rid of it. She sold it to me for $30.
I had it for about a decade and then, needing some money for my family, sold several bigger ticket items from my collection. I got considerably more for it than that ($130 - $150 if I remember right.) It's one model I have wished I still had for many years.
I found one on eBay last week with a Buy It Now for $125. That was more than I felt I should spend, so I put in a bid of $95. I figured that if I didn't get it, I would look another time.
Well, I won the piece, and it arrived today. It is in beautiful condition and I am thrilled to have it in my collection again!
