B Stamp Proud Arabian Stallion

Sell It Here continues to be a great place to shop for models! I went back a couple of times to see if that vendor who's had the black point PAM and the two 1980 JAH unpainted models had added anything new. Both times I left a dirty Proud Arabian Stallion behind. (I left it behind when I bought the unpainteds, too.)

Then it occurred to me that I might want to check it for a B stamp - after all, the JAH horses are from that era, and since this piece was probably from the same time frame, maybe it had the stamp. So I went back yet again to check.

 Proud Arabian Stallion, #211, 1971-1976, 1978-1981, $20, 10/5/17, Sell It Here, Lafayette, IN.

 He's a rare B stamp, all right!

I will give him a bath and then some time in a sunny window - he'll be a nice addition to my PAS conga!

Breyer Flocked Proud Arabian Stallion

I am slowly adding to my collection of flocked Breyers. I have the palomino Running Mare and Foal, the Clydesdale "Stallion," the Saddlebred Weanling Rocking Horse, and now the Proud Arabian Stallion!

Flocked Breyer Proud Arabian Stallion, no number, 1984 Montgomery Wards SR, $100, 7/2017, Andrea Childers, LaPorte, Indiana.

(Photos from eBay listing.)

He is much nicer than the description made him sound! He also has painted eyes on,; most have glass eyes.

Dapple Grey Proud Arab Stallion

This one may be a chalky. I saw him a week ago at Sell It Here in Lafayette, but wanted to think about it before buying as I already have one. Yesterday I went back and purchased him.

 Breyer Proud Arab Stallion, #213, 1972-1988, $15.50, Sell It Here, Lafayette, IN, 6/2014.

 The front hooves are like other chalky models' hooves...

 ... as are the back hooves.

But compared to my other chalky PAS, he isn't quite as obvious.

I have a message and pictures out on Model Horse Blab asking for opinions.
