This black mother is obviously a different dragon, since it doesn’t have a felt pad, but there is at least one factory-(re)painted black mother out there. I saved the page of an auction back in 2012 for a family set – male, mother, hatcher.
My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

February 9, 2019 at 5:19 pm #1556481Windstone used that stamp to mark their pieces before they went to felt pads with a logo instead. She’s a very old dragon that someone repainted.
Windstone frowns on repainting pieces, and if something is repainted it is best to clearly label it as a repaint to avoid confusing people, but I don’t think there is anything that ebay can do about it.
February 9, 2019 at 6:22 pm #1556495The seller should at least note that the dragons are repaints and not a standard color that Windstone produced at the Factory.

The seller may not know that. I think a lot of people do only minimal research on what they have, particularly people who pick things up at estate sales. Also, people who receive things as gifts may not look into finding out more about them.

Absolutely. There is a peacock male dragon listed as tanzanite right now. I got excited, but ended up being tricked. 😛

February 11, 2019 at 5:23 am #1556606They know because I messaged them and told them. They can’t change the title because of the bids. Nor the original description but they can add this to the auction. Saying revised description but they choose not to do that. But instead do the wrong thing. Letting you know that whomever wins this can send it right back because it is not as described. I did them a favor by telling them. They choose not to do the right thing here. The description they have it as a Pearl Windstone Dragon. This seller is just all over the map on the auction. They repeated part of their other auction on a Pearl Windstone mother. They don’t care to clarify the 1st said auction so they deserve whatever they get.(Stupid is as stupid does) I tried.

March 12, 2019 at 2:05 pm #1560792Hum saw this on ebay today. This is so cute though it sure looks like Melody’s. You all will have to check it out as I do not have the knowledge to bring it over here. Item number is 392254461325.
