Info/PC on a Breyer bull?

[Squirrelypaws]

I wasn't sure if this went on the Toy Box board or not; I apologize if I misplaced it.

Anyway, I found this guy at a yard sale this morning:

He seems to be a Breyer model... He's not actually marked Breyer (at least, I don't see a mark), but I believe I read when trying to ID a previous find that some of the early models weren't marked; is that right?

At any rate, going on the assumption that he is Breyer, I Googled a Breyer site and I'm 99.9% sure I ID'd him; the mold looks to be the Walking Black Angus Bull, and going by the color descriptions on that page I believe he's model #73, Hornless Hereford.

I looked up that model on eBay to try and verify, as the ID site didn't have a picture, and the only one I could find that seems to match mine was this one, which apparently sold for $325?!                               

I know there's at east a few Breyer collectors here, so I was hoping some of you guys could take a look and tell me if my ID is right and what he might realistically go for?

What an awesome find!  Yes the old Breyers do not always have a stamp it is normally between the back legs, some olders ones just had a B.  And yes yours is number 73 but is semi rough sided not poodle cut.  You should so send the women who runs the website a photo of your find, she I am sure would love to add it her site. 

As to the price, if you wish I can post to either the Blab and or a FB price check site I belong to get an idea of current value for yours.  Love the gloss and he looks to be in super shape.  Just give me a shout if you want me too.  Their are some big time Breyer animal collectors and he is not an easy to find fellow.

Thanks so much for the reply, Diamond. ^_^ I really appreciate it.

If you wouldn't mind posting for a PC on my behalf, that would be wonderful! I'm not a collector myself, so I haven't the slightest idea of where to go for that kind of thing.

And yes, I will definitely contact the owner of the site and ask if she'd like to use the pictures.

Okay shall do tonight, need to take Clonecommander to work now.  I will let you know what they say in regards to price and any additional information anyone has.

I am going to pop this over to the Toy Box as we are trying to keep everything toy-ish releated over there

Sorry about that, Hathor!

Diamond: I have a couple more pictures of him in this Flickr album, if they'd be helpful for the price-check.

No worries It will take all of us a while to get used to a new forum.
