Warehouse Western Prancer

Breyer started having "warehouse finds" sales this year - blank models they had put away that were then painted to look like a previous run. I concentrate on vintage molds, so when Breyer had a big sale with free shipping and a coupon for 20% off, I went ahead and bought this piece.

 Western Prancer, #430004, Warehouse Find, $27, Breyer web site, 12/2014.

Chalky Misty

AFter seeing the reference photos on eBay and Blab about the chalky Misty, I went back down to Countryside Antiques yesterday to take a look at one I had seen there. It had looked odd at the time; could it be a chalky?

 Misty, #20, 1972-2006, $12, Countryside Antiques, 1/2015.

The hooves make me lean towards identifying it as a chalky, but I have a hard time telling when a model is sometimes.

Proud Arabian Foal

I found this lovely Proud Arab Foal at Raven's Roost in December. He was at the very limit of what I was willing to pay for this piece, but he is is good shape and so I brought him home with me.

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!

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

Breyer Saddle Stands

I have wanted a couple of these for some time, so when Breyer sent me a coupon good on sale items and for free shipping, home they came!

Breyer Blankets

I have a small collection of Breyer blankets that I wish to document.

Reference - Chalky Plastic Misty

These pictures are of a chalky plastic Misty that was on eBay in December, 2014.

 It sold for $128!

 There is one similar to it at Countryside Antiques. I may pop down there and get it.
