I was so excited when I found this plastic Breyer Horse in the Diakonie. My first as an adult! Just 2.50 Euro!
I did have some as a kid I'm sure.
I love the pose it has on its stand. The brown beast recalls my Action Man horse too and maybe the Aurora Black Fury kit.
Along with my Pferde I bagged a few plastic Matchbox-style German advertising trailer canopies and a trailer. 70 Cents the lot.
Alongside was a mint 1974 Rolamatics Weasel tank for 30 Cents.
Anything here you like?

For a bit of fun, here's the Aurora Black Fury box art circa 1969 courtesy of eBay images. It's a lot like my new Breyer! Are they connected in some way?
Nice horse. What are the canopies intended to go on ? The Matchbox Weasel is an armoured car - it has wheels not tracks, so it is not a tank. Yes, very pedantic of me.
ReplyDeleteTa Paul. The trailer for the tops is a red one tucked away at the left. It has wheels.
DeleteThe canopy maker is Grell.
DeleteI worked at a toy store in fancy Westport in the late 1970s - every little rich girl collected Breyer horses! We couldn't keep them in stock! So glad you finally caught up with them! SFZ
ReplyDeleteHmm. Not sure it's such a good thing now SF! In my defence I'm not rich! It really is a fabulous statuette.
