I'm trying to remember the last thread we had on the possibility of a darker purple hair peru posey.  I'm familiar with the lighter/lilac hair and yes it is curly and peru ponies have long tails.

The washer looks a good fit and is aged so that seems a good sign

but than from looking at the mane /neck area I would say that looks to me it likely is a rehair not original - are you all saying that one row that looks like a typical factory weave for peru ponies?  ( runs off to check ponies...)

Hey and thanks for your reply! The texture of the hair of the mane and tail are identical, as well as the color. If the tail is original but the mane re-haired, would they have been able to use hair that was a perfect match for the original?

Oh and I forgot to say, I went back through my eBay history from loooong ago and actually found where I got the pony. I bought it from a Peruvian account that is still active. They are not a collector account, they seem to just be selling various bits and bobs, not just toys but a little bit of everything, like someone buying boxes at yardsales or something. Not sure if it helps the investigation to know it came from "the wild".

Hey!

Thanks for your reply. ^^ Yeah, I kinda like her, strange as she is. I'd like to add that I know that a purple-haired Peruvian Posey does exist (through my *cough* extensive research) but I was curious to know if the hair is original The carpet matches the drapes, so to speak  so if the tail is legit then maybe so is the mane.

And that's my Jester, haha, I pulled aside the curtain for some daylight and she was just chilling there on the windowsill, so she got to be a gorgeous backdrop. Yeah, calicos rule

Hello everyone!

I am Ifra and I’m glad to be here with you on the forum!

I live in Sweden and being from generation X, I owned and played with G1 ponies when I was young. I started collecting ponies in the early 2000’s when I realized there was actually a collectible market for it, and I found my old toys in a box. And the rest is history as I think you understand :-)

For the past six years or so all my ponies have been packed away in boxes in the basement. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But earlier this week I found them while I was looking for something else, and all the memories came back.

I think I used to have an account here, but the email associated with it but no longer have access to, so I had to make a new account. I was never very active, I am a lurker more than a poster.

I live on a farm in the sticks with my fiancé and all of our animals. In my spare time, which is most of the time in this age of pandemic, I draw, and play and stream online computer games.

I hope this will suffice as an introduction! If I left something out or if there’s something you would like to know, I would be happy to answer!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Love, Ifra
