Donkey 13212 with white tail tip

Does anybody know something about this?
eBay: rare donkey

It's about a donkey with a white tail tip which is claimed to be very rare.
Maybe yesterday I've bought just such a donkey for a few euros.

Lucky you, Angel
Hurry up and buy some more !
Even if the price on Ebay is ridiculously high, the colour is different from most I have seen, - darker also, isn`t it ?

Talking about Schleich donkeys, - I have been searching and searching for one with black muzzle, such as they are shown in some Schleich catalogues

Thankyou for the link

Great find, thanks for the link.

It's not a very rare donkey :)
It's just a really old one, and the donkey in the link is probally just a newer color variation.
I also have one of these, but she is in really bad condition.
She's from 1989.

Exactly the same mould, but marked AAA

Perhaps AAA made them all ?

Ha, cool

I wish it would say year under the AAA, then we could see wich of them is the oldest, schleich or AAA

Who copy who?

Will we ever know

Oh, i never saw one with a fully black nose?
Mine just has a black marking on his nose.

Edit: made a better picture

Aaaah! He is SO cute

Do you think he has been eating chocolate

Maybe .. !

my donkey and foal have white tails on the bottom

Congratulations for so many variants Susanne I've seen this donkey also last year in ELC farm animals set I also don't know who copied who but this is old mold, Schleich was marked 1987 if I remember good, so they might be first

I can´t see the pic

Ooooh I thought the second on the right was the "different", and then I saw the pic showing the AAA marking. I was right :)

You´re so lucky, you have so many variations and rare items!

Nice information Susanne!
I am pretty sure that AAA copied Schleich on this one, although AAA made many models for Schleich in the past, but they were different in sculpt and mould, and of a lower quality.
I guess that Schleich allowed this in the early years, as they were coorporating.

Mine looks like this:

I guess it depends on the person that painted the donkey, and their artistical freedom sometimes...

Thankyou friends

WOW!

That is a VERY fine donkey you have, Willy

Thanks you Susanne!
Well, it has only very minor rubs on the hooves, not more then that, so i guess he is in a good shape indeed...
Stupidly enough, i sold my newer version on e-bay last months, but i decided to keep the donkeys in my collection, so i will find a new one again i guess...
Sadly enough to, a deal with Rusty for the rest of my Schleich and Bullyland farmanimals didn't work out either, as he has USA prices for Schleich in his head, and they are still cheaper there in case of new and shortly ago retired models...
So i have to do some work this week on e-bay again, but i have good hopes, specially for the older farmanimals, like the cows and the complete chicken-collection...

this topic is very interesting and useful!

Thankyou Ida

I like your donkeys :)

I got my AAA donkey foal in 1997 and they were pretty new in the shop then !
