They are SO cute

I love those donkeys from Plaho, they have this "someting", - and a lot of history, of course

Thank you Susanne!! And for me have this donkeys also a lot of memories,

Andreas, the little donkey in the foreground on the left side I remember from my childhood. I mean not the Plaho ones.
Do you know what brand this is?

This little guy won't be the only donkey in my herd, I'm planning to get at least 3 or 4 more.

A great and beautyful start you got, Magda

Congrats Mangalarga for the first donkey!!

It's still fresh of seeing others collection.

They are beautyful, Katty

Ken is right!
It is the whole idea behind "Show us yours", - we LOVE to see the collections of everybody

Your picture is great, a wonderful way to cut the picture so we see the charm of these donkets

I do not collect donkeys (yet ), but there are two in my collection. Both of them are in 1:35 scale (about 2-3 cm high).
The first is a metal one. I do not remember exactly what manufacturer it is, maybe Andrea Miniatures.

The second one is a vintage Italian toy, in fact.

Everyone is fantastic, - one of mt favorites is the brown Schleic classics..and now I found some that really, really makes my heart jump : Auburn Rubber Co. about 1946-1950 !!!! Ohhhh, they are just SO lovely

A huge herd of fantastic donkeys! :)
Thanks for sharing with us, Tim!

Here is another picture of those old Auburn donkeys, they may actually be mules but close enough :)

You can see the round places at the base, in some cases they put an axle and wheels there with two together to be a pulling team. I don't have a mule/donkey team but here is what it looks like with the horses.

Wow, so many wonderful donkeys, thank You for showing them Tim! I see many of them for the first time

Tiermann, you've got a really fantastic collection.
And there's the donkey like the one that's carring the cart from my last photo in this thread. Do you know its brand?

Ohhh, Tim ! I am going to dream about your donkeys/mules and heavy horses tonight
And very sweet dreams, too

OS I think they are mules, - but that is still 50 % donkey
