Proud Arabian Mare with Black Points

My second find of the day:

 Black point Proud Arabian Mare (Version D), 1982-1984, $20, Sell It Here, Lafayette, Indiana, 9/23/2017.

She is beautiful!! People seek after this piece - I could not believe I lucked into finding one.

Isn't She Lovely!

Sheryl Leisure finished repairing my Old Mold Proud Arab Mare that I bought for only $5 earlier this year, and she looks terrific!

I left her sitting in Countryside Antiques for a year because of that chipped ear. Then, when I discovered Sheryl did repairs at a reasonable price AND was highly recommended, I bought her the next time I was there.

Broken left ear prior to repair.

 And after repair.

 I also asked Sheryl to repair the paint on her tail and hooves.

Post- repair work.

Such a pretty girl, and worth the $35 I spent to have her fixed!

Out for Repairs!

I am sending three models to Sheryl Leisure in California for repairs. She comes highly recommended for her repair work, plus she has been in the hobby for years. I feel comfortable sending three pieces to her, especially my two favorite North Lights (both of whom have been Top Ten at NAN several times!)

Proud Arab Mare

Tuesday, I was feeling burned out by school and sewing. Instead of coming home after work as planned, I decided to run to a couple of antique shops and look for HSO. Bonus!!

First up is this Proud Arabian Mare (new mold.)

 PAM (new mold), #217 USA stamp in alabaster, 1972-1976 and 1978-1981, $12, Sell It Here, Lafayette, Indiana, 2/2015.

She's yellowed (a sunny window will help that!) and she has some extra plastic on her right hip, but she is still a lovely piece.

Old Mold Proud Arab Mare

I found this old mold PAM at COuntryside Antiques in the fall but left her behind. Her ear is chipped and I misread the price tag as $25. Well, that "2" was a very sloppy dollar sign, I discovered on another trip down! She was only $5! Home with me she came!

 Old Mold Proud Arabian Mare in alabaster, #8, 1958-1959, $5, Countryside Antiques, 12/2014.

 She needs a good bath in Dawn, but she'll clean up fine!
