Old Timer

When Lisa found the Marx pieces at Raven's Roost, she also found this lovely piece!

 Old Timer, #205, 1966 - 1987, USA stamp, $25, Raven's Roost Antiques, Lafayette, Indiana.

 He has such lovely, lovely dappling!

Sadly, he broke in transit (right hind leg, just under hock). I've repaired it and it is almost unnoticeable. He's still a really good find, especially since he still has his hat.

Thunderbolt and Johnny West!

Lisa knows to look for HSOs when she's out and about, and so when she was in Raven's Roost Antiques recently and spied a few of them, she excitedly sent me some pictures via text. I was in Colorado during the time and really appreciated her vigilance - I am delighted to add Thunderbolt and Johnny West to my collection!

 Marx Thunderbolt, $18, Raven's Roost Antiques, August, 2014.

Mark Johnny West, $11.50, Raven's Roost Antiques, August, 2014.

I didn't have Johnny West, but I did have Josie and Janice, plus Thunderbolt, Thundercolt, Flame, and the horse with the articulated body.
