Anyone collect Matchbox Carousel horses or have any info?

[sparkleset80]

I decided to make a photobucket page of my collection. I wanted to also add any info about the individual horses themselves. Really would like to figure out what colored charms and ribbons they came with. Just wondered if anyone knows anything I might not have mentioned? I put all the info I knew about a particular horse on the picture of the base with their name. The only thing I don't have pictured yet is the carousel itself but hopefully I'll do that soon! Still need to get one horse and three animals... I think. Would love to see other collections as well so feel free to post some pics! Here are the links to what I have done so far:

Those are gorgeous! All these carousel horse posts lately are severely igniting the love I had for them as a child!

[cyberunicorn]

I had this carousel as a kid and loved playing with it. I have still not forgiven my parents for selling it. I only have 3 horses left that I managed to find on ebay

Would this be the same Matchbox better known for toy cars?

[kellyponyfeathers]

Yep.    Sparkleset and I were just discussing these the other day.  I'm new to collecting them and had some questions.  I just bought a display stand, but it's the revolving carousel that really makes this line cool.

I had a collection of these as a child and I loved them!  Serious nostalgia going on here.

Thanks for the info!  Suddenly, the reason why this sits in a Matchbox Museum in New Jersey makes much more sense:

They're definitely really pretty.  I've always had a thing for carousal horses.  I've heard of these before, but I don't have any.  The only thing I kind of don't like are the brushable tails.  Real carousal horses don't have brushable tails, lol.

  Cuuuute! Oh why did I click the picture links... I knew about those impossibly tiny matchbox cars, but never seen these carousel animals before.

Some do, actually - brushable manes, too. It depends entirely on who made it

Those are beautiful!

Lol, thanks  for sharing that pic! It would seem funny having a carousel horse in the middle of a bunch of Matchbox cars if you didn't know about the carousel line they made.

I don't, but i'm going to be so tempted now!

[Marigold]

My sister had some and I always liked them. So I have started collecting them. I'm looking for the glitter ones, the swan and a camel.

Sparkleset, you should post a pic of your carousel playset too; that's the best part of this whole line (I think).
