Possibly Chalky Running Stallion

While I was watching the auction for my Semi-Rearing Mustang, I saw a black Appaloosa Running Stallion come up for auction. I already have one, but this one looked chalky in its photos. It had no bids, and so I bid the minimum opening bid of $6.95.

Running Stallion, #127, 1968-1981, $6.95, 1/2018, eBay, Glenn Kremer, 636 Jener Place, Plymouth, MI, 48170

I won! He's on the way now - I am 50/50 as to whether or not he is a chalky. If he isn't, he will still be a nice addition and is probably a variation of the one I already have.

Fingers crossed!

Addendum: He is not chalky, he is in worse shape than his pictures make him appear, and someone painted his hooves black. He does have a pretty pink nose that helps to redeem him. I took a risk and I lost, but that's collecting. Plus, I did not spend much money on him.

Bay Running Stallion

I bought this nice bay Running Stallion from Barrie Getz.

 You can see that he is a bit of an oddity; some of them have a bald left ear, as does he.

Red Roan Running Stallion

A beautiful vintage piece has joined my collection! I love the coloring on this piece, and chose him over several cheaper examples of the same piece.

Vintage Club #3 2015 - Running Stallion

Gold charm as been my least favorite decorator color ever since the gold charm Secretariats were produced. So, when it was announced that offering #3 from the Vintage Collectors Club would be a decorator, I hoped I would not get one in gold charm.

And then I saw a picture of one on Model Horse Blab and changed my mind. Good thing, too, because mine is a gold charm! And I LOVE it!!

Sailor, #712143, 3rd offering in 2015 Vintage Collectors Club, $135, 125 pieces made in each of four decorator colors. (This is gold charm.)

Stardust

Sometimes I bypass a model when it first comes out, only to regret it later and have to hunt for it on the secondary market. That is the case with this piece, Stardust, the Running Stallion in a pearly white and navy with spots and a star on his hip.

 Stardust, #1146, 2000 - 2005, $30, 5/2014, Teresa Gillen, Clintonville, Wisconsin.

I love him!
