The turtle I found wasn’t a Windstone…on close examination of the pictures, the feet were not in the correct position.

I keep looking….I want the turtle and the armadillo. Maybe someday I will find them….

I did find the old hatching Tortoise…he isn’t in perfect shape, but good enough for the $5 I paid for him.

My family was always big on reading, my mom and dad both pushed books on us…My first love was the Black Stallion….I still have the whole set of paperbacks from when I was 8 or 9 years old.

Then at 13 my mom gave me a copy of “Dragonsong” by Anne McCaaffery…..I was enraptured…I have every book she has ever written and almost all of them in hardback.

I first saw the Windstone dragons in a Wicks n Sticks and I was sunk. They looked to me like the dragons of Pern…..And I so wanted to live in the world of Lessa and F’lar and Jaxom….teenage angst and all…it was so easy to go visit Pern when the world seemed to be against me…

So from then on, all I wanted for Christmas and Birthdays was Windstones. I think my first piece was the old Brown Male or maybe it was the Peacock Male…both have been with me a long time. Of course, I got the “dragons are evil and dungeons and dragons was evil…and you must be a nerd kinda thing” and so some family members bought stuff besides Windstones and some people bought me all kinds of pewter dragons and stone critter dragons.

The Wicks n Sticks closed and I was limited to getting them for myself when I went on trips…This year I decided to indulge and went from 20 Windstones in April to about 80 pieces. I can afford them now and still find myself buying the older stuff…though the Black and Gold is probably my favorite color…so I have a few new Black and Golds. And now that I can afford them I don’t have to wait for my birthday or Christmas….or for my mom to buy me a dragon egg that isn’t a Windstone…

Non-Collectors DO NOT UNDERSTAND the it MUST be a Windstone!

I loved everyone’s stories especially Purplecat’s…they do allow you to be free…they are from a different world!!!

BUMP 😀

I am not sure who knows. I’ll ask again on Monday.

My Peacock Scratcher, Peacock Hatching Empress, Peacock Fledgie, and Peacock Orientals had no hang tags. None on my Black Griffin, the Dinosaurs, white hatching dragon, white coiled mother or peacock coiled male….

I know I bought the Peacock hatching empress or the fledgie sometime around 1997 or 1998, because I had to fly back early from Chicago to New Orleans because of Hurricaine George and I bought one of the two as a souvenir.

The older stuff with no hang tags used to always be packed in styrofoam too.

Hope that helps.

Could you send me, or post a picture of it? It should have Pena 1984 on it somewhere. It might have a black ink stamp right on the bottom , or might not. Those had no pads.

Thank You! I PM’d you….Kaya

I think I might have run across an old Tortoise, #105. Did you have the Pena year mark on these old pieces? How can I tell if it is a Windstone.

Nambroth said I should ask you…

Thanks in advance…..

I did look at this picture and still couldn’t be sure.

I dont know how old they are, but they pop up on Ebay pretty often and go for a bit over $50 on average, though the last one went higher. I already have one, so yours is safe with me. 🙂

I am talking about the original Tortoise…I have a hatching Tortoise already also…..anyone know?

[keschete]

If you don’t have a buyer after all, let me know….I don’t usually get multiple colors of the same pose…but I like him alot.

I have the Peacock and Black and Gold and I certainly like the Black and Gold much better then the Peacock…..I think I like the Ruby better than the Peacock also.

Though…I have broken my multiple rule with the curlies, coileds, royal hatchers, flegies and OW’s….

Some Windstones you just gotta have in every color especially OW’s

[keschete]

I think I found the tortoise…is it marked with the Pena and date on the sculpture? For that matter are any of the REALLY old sculptures marked?

And NO, I am not telling where it is 🙂

hehehehehe….

[keschete]

Fledgies…..

[keschete]

Here we go again….okay everybody you shouldn’t look at ebay for the next week!

[keschete]

I have…..

Baby Stegasaurus MINT
Hatching Velociraptor MINT
White Curled NEW in box and CoA

Would like to sell or trade…for Kinsella Castles, Royal Hatchers, or Fledgies.

I have the Brown Royal Hatchers, Emerald Kinglet and Peacock Empress and I have the Ruby, VF, Emerald, B&G and Peacock Fledgies.

I am asking $100 each for the Stegasaurus and Velociraptor and will entertain offers on the curl, but I would rather trade..

[keschete]

I am sooo happy you were able to fix JC’s Wizard! He is gorgeous! Thank You so much for doing that! It made me soo mad that someone packed him so carelessly.

You did a great job!!!!!
