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.

Ebony Woodcut TWH

While poking around Sell It Here today, I found a shelf of about eight model horses. Three came home with me.

This Hartland ebony woodcut TWH was a terrific find!

 Hartland TWH, mane on left side, #888E, 1965-1966, $20, Sell It Here, Lafayette, Indiana, 9/23/2017.

 There is a small seam split on his back that is barely noticeable.

And, he has his original hoof pads!

BreyerFest Marigold

This piece is so beautiful! I love Breyer's clearware.

BreyerFest Darjeeling!

Since I did not purchase any tickets to BreyerFest (Pat Reed gave me the wristbands from some extra tickets she had bought so Jenny and I got in free), I was not able to purchase any of the BreyerFest models. There were many I wanted, but three in particular were on my "must have" list - Darjeeling, Marigold, and Navya. I love the Semi-Rearing Mustang mold, and I love Breyer clearware, so they were my top priorities.

Since BreyerFest ended, I have been watching pieces on eBay, bidding on several, and hoping to bring these three home for my own collection. Unfortunately, I have been outbid time and time again.

Until last week. I won Darjeeing for under $100!

 Darjeeling, BreyerFest 2017 SR, #711258, $95, 1300 produced, eBay/Jody Purdy, Brick, JJ.

Be still, my heart - he is gorgeous! I am thrilled to have gotten him for a price I feel is fair to the seller and to me.

One down, two more to go! And then there's the cow, the elephant, the Shetland Pony and Dog to find...

Steha Circus Pony

Be still my heart, I found a Steha Circus Pony on eBay! I did not know Steha (from West Germany) had made a Circus Pony, but I had been looking at Stehas on eBay for years, hoping to find "Ross," the Steha that my friend, Bobbie Vance, owned when we were growing up. (They are pretty rare and rarely show up. They are also hard to find in good shape.)

Imagine my surprise when I was searching eBay and found this! (Photos from eBay ad.)

 Steha of West Germany Circus Pony, $200, 7/2017, KL, Seattle, Washington.

He arrived much cleaner than he was in the eBay ad. 

I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!!

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.

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