TSII BreyerFest Offerings

 

It's getting to be a tradition here to display my personal BreyerFest offerings, sales items and TSII tack auction pieces before the big week.  (I think I can do better than last year!)  This year, in the shadow of a much larger offering (the Colette Robertson dispersal), I present, as well, my own fewer but no lesser things,... and they may be accompanied by others' pieces; it's a time of sharing.

There are two TSII braided headgear pieces, a curb bridle (Peach Rose 2, above) and a bosal hackamore (April's Hackamore 2), up for offers.  

NOTE from the future:  April 2 SOLD  $200  on July 13.

There are 2 horses (to start with, hah!), a resincast Peruvian Paso stallion and a very rare Breyer Moody Saddlebred.  And, of course, there are a bunch of pins.

I am guilty of not sharing my pin collection's progress.  Rest assured it is perking along merrily--!!   Yes, mistakes were made with my wanting those earrings, but my loss will be someone else's gain --!!  I am lowering my prices.  The highest price here is only $40 -- the Quagga earrings -- while the lowest price, $15, applies to the two small carousel pins.

You have seen Zoltan, my resincast Peruvian stallion, before.  He comes with his handbraided TSII Peruvian jaquima halter.  The whole shebang will make its appearance under a less than $300 price tag.

People are paying much more for far less, believe you me!

For reasons of timidity and time-crunch I am hesitating to put this fellow on Rare Model Horse Sales;  but he would be at home there;  he belongs there.  (This here must be practice.)  This is the Volunteer Model for BreyerFest for the year 2000.  According to IDYB only 70 head exist.  My idea of an opening salvo in the wars of the prices is a little over 4 figures.


Breyer never named him.  My own name for this particular individual is Lonely Hearts.  He's in amazingly good condition for a 24-year-old.

It is shaping up to be a year of sharing.  I have it on good authority that some of Field of Dolls' fabulous riders and people will be available on our shelves.  Everybody needs dolls!  Not only that, but Lonely Hearts may well have company;  I have agreed to display some of Lesli Kathman's sales horses as well.  It is an honor to handle such pieces.  What an exciting time!

Thanks for reading!  and, Happy Collecting!

  1. I'm not coming to Breyerfest but I'd happily buy Zoltan and the carousel pins right now. Plus shipping cost, of course.
