CMB Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Has anyone seen this figure before?: With her palms held flat like that and shoulder height it looks to me like she's feeding a pony, but I couldn't see the figure in any of the seventies equestrian sets. Sure it's post-Herald though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 She should have a horse in front of her behind a gate. Her proper title, according to the later catalogues is 'Girl Feeding Horse'. She first appears in the 1970 Britains catalogue as 'Girl With Bucket' and numbered 2039 in 'Farm Children'. Included in this title were, 2036. 'Boy with rope'. 2037. 'Boy with dog' and 2038. 'Girl with piglet'. In the catalogue it says, 'New addition, available in the Spring'. Catalogued with other items sub-titled 'Farm Accessories'.

Also available in a boxed set and a bubble pack, deleted end of 1974, although possibly still available in the two sets to end of 1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yes, to complete the pose. You could also pose her feeding a donkey or a cow or whatever animals mouth is the same level as her hand or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The Girl with Bucket also appeared in the Zoo range as part of the small boxed set 4361 from 1970 to 1972. There are two colour variations of her trousers - dark blue (which is more common) or turquoise blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
