HR Elephant Pair

On our way from from visiting Jessica over Fall Break, I stopped at Countryside Antiques and found this pair of Hagen Renaker Elephants.

 Circus Elephant (Standing), A-881, $5/baby, Spring 1987 - Fall 1997, Countryside Antiques, 10/2017.

Glossy Indian Elephant Baby, A-17, 1976, $5/Circus Elephant, Countryside Antiques, 10/2017.

Lenox Appaloosa

I have wanted this piece for a long, long time.

 Appaloosa, Fury of the Plains by Lenox, 1990, $60, Staff Bodamer (at Nancy Falzone's party), 11/2017.

Sleeping Fjord

Kristina Lucas Francis had ten of these Sleeping Fjords for sale at Nancy's. They sold quickly - there were only four left to choose from when I decided to get one!

 KLF Sleeping Fjord, $100, 15 made, 11/2017/

Okaptopus

Also at Nancy Falzone's party, I picked up one of Kristina Lucas Francis' Okaptopus!

 Okaptopus, $80, ceramic, #5/6 in purple orchid glaze, 11/4/2017.

 I am not a fantasy animal collector, but I do like this one!

Early HR Elephant Baby

Jamie Rott and her mom, Yvonne, surprised me with a gift at Nancy Falzone's get together yesterday.

This sweet little elephant baby!

 Elephant Baby, A-264, Monrovia, early version with pink ears, painted toenails, gift from Jamie and Yvonne Rott, 11/2017.

Sugarmaple

Gosh, I love Breyer's clearware! And Sugarmaple, their Fall decorator, is proving to be really popular.

Sugarmaple #1782, Fall 2017 Special Edition Decorator, $60, Back in the Saddle, 10/14/17.

This is a photo I pulled off of Blab; apparently there is a lot of variation in the color. Mine seems amber/orange as its dominant color.

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!
