B Stamp Pacer

 Despite having collected since 1963, I did not have any B stamp Breyers until very recently. During the brief time (1979-1983 or so) that Breyer was adding the B stamp, I was home full time caring for four little children. With only one income, there was absolutely no money to spend on new models.

 I just added my second B stamp model to my collection - this lovely Pacer with black halter.

B Stamp Pacer with black halter, #46, $20, 1967-1987, 22/2019, eBay, Suzanne Duval, 14425 Dilbeck Rd., Springhill, FL.

The Pacer mold is having a resurgence in popularity due to the 2018 BreyerFest Foiled Again and the 2019 Vintage Club Rockford, so I was a little surprised that I won this auction.

 The B stamp can be found on the inner left hind leg.

The Breyer Molding Company stamp is on the other hind leg.

He is in great shape for his age and, regardless of B stamp or not, is a welcome addition to my Pacer conga. 

Treasure Hunt Lady Phase

I traded my second woodgrain Brahma But to Allison Pareis for this lovely Lady Phase.

Short Tail Treasure Hunt Lady Phase, #1213, 2006, traded for my woodgrain Brahma Bull, Allison Pareis, 3/16/2019.

Isn't she pretty? We traded at Silver Star Classic, I plopped her on the table in a large Appaloosa class, and she took second place and qualified for NAN!

Her name is Winding Georgia after my Grandma Honeywell.

Passing Through My Hands

Sometimes I "rescue" models that I find as I poke around antique shops and thrift stores. Such was the case with these.

Found at Countryside Antiques, the Hartlands were all 20% off, so I got them for $164. They sold less than two hours after I got home to Karen Springmier of New Hampton, Iowa for cost plus shipping.

Also found at Countryside Antiques (the second one I have found there, although this one is semi-glass and the first is very matte) was this woodgrain Brahma Bull. I got him for 10% off, paying $58.50 for him. Allison Pareis and I traded for him - I got a 2007 Treasure Hunt Lady Phase in a luscious black Appaloosa! The bull trade was worked out in two hours, too!

I knew the Hartlands were hard to find (that black Appaloosa and the orange saddle are very rare) with the bull being easier but still valuable, so I brought them home to offer to people at cost.

Vintage Club Rockford

The first of the 2019 Vintage Club offerings has arrives, and he is gorgeous!

 2019 VC #1 Rockford, #712281, 2019 only, 500 made, 2/2019, $127, Breyer.

I love the silver in his mane and tail.

Disney Sleeping Beauty Samson Cake Topper

I saw this piece on Amazon but he was sold out. Checking back several months later, a few had come in stock!

 Samson cake topper, $17, Amazon, 2/2019.

 I love him, although I wish the squirrel was not in the saddle.

 He is a very heavy plastic, not cheap and light at all.

I can't believe that he's supposed to be a cake topper - he is of very good quality.

Red Roan Belgian

While the Belgian is not my favorite, it is a vintage mold, and when it's painted in the old red roan colorway...  Well, look who came home with me!

 Breyer Belgian, red roan, no number, 1984 Special Run for Horses International, $100, 1/2019, Julie Acer, Olive Branch, MS

 Red roan is one of my favorite vintage colors and he looks great in it!

Turnout Blanket

This turnout blanket has been available for a couple of years and was just discontinued. Breyer had it on sale, so I bought it.

Turnout Set, #2064, 2016 - 2018, $10, 1/2019, Breyer
