I bought this figure from eBay , bit of a strange one and I haven't had time to do any research on it but it is hollow cast and the rider is separate (held on with blue tack at the moment) I'm not convinced the horse is the original as it has a different paint job (repaint?) , the rider has the look of Buffalo Bill and his left had has a hole in it that could hold a lasso or whip ? . As they are not well painted I'll probably strip the horse and repaint it and perhaps touch up the man's paint job But as we are going on holiday soon this will have to wait.
Definitely appears to be Buffalo Bill but is that his horse?

Thanks for the info , on hols at moment and bity wifi
DeleteIt is Buffalo Bill made by Timpo, he should have a lasso made from wire in his hand, the horse is the correct original but has been repainted. Later on they also made this figure in plastic from the original hollowcast mould, the plastic version is quite rare.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info
DeleteTony, an interesting addition to the collection!

Yes i liked the unusual pose.
DeleteAn interesting addition to your collection and the mystery solved quickly by folks far more knowledgeable than me. Bill and his horse should look good with a repaint, Interesting fact from Brian that the plastic versions is a rare one.
ReplyDeleteWe there are some knowledgeable folk out there , yes i always assume it's the metal that are rare.
DeleteAnother wonderful find Tony, and kudos to Brian for a quick identification! I look forward to seeing what you do with him and be sure to enjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteGoing to strip the horse and touch up the rider i think.
DeleteComing late to the ball, I see that Brian has provided a definitive answer (to what would have been my best guess--which was the same as yours). Fine addition, regardless. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThe figure does look like BB facially, hoping the weather holds for the hols.
