Leakeyvale Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I recently purchased a Britains No 40f Farm Horse and Cart as part of a lot at an auction. The auction house described it as having the wrong horse but I don't think it is. The box says "the small studs inside rest in the grooves in the harness of the horse". Grooves are there, the horse fits beautifully and looks exactly like the one in the picture on the box. Any comments/info gratefully accepted.

Udimore Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well Sue , I must have the wrong horse as well then in my set Think its fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think, Susan that they may not have realised it was a pre-war version, and the horse is slightly different from the later version... looks like the right horse to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I think, Susan that they may not have realised it was a pre-war version, and the horse is slightly different from the later version... looks like the right horse to me Well Sue , I must have the wrong horse as well then in my set Think its fine Thanks for the confirmation. I am no expert, although I collect I generally only buy items I like and are different rather than just for the sake of having a particular piece of old Britains. The auction house was Vectis who generally know what they are about and did say it was 1930[+something]. As this was included in the lot it was not the set I really wanted so it came as a bonus. Think this must be my best buy to date. Perhaps the "wrong horse" bit put the other bidders off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well no doubt Scott (Britfarmer) will take a look later and give the final verdict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainstoys.nl Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi, It is the horse for the cart, nothing wrong with it. On the website www.britainstoys.nl you can see a picture off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
