"NellyBelle" went for half of the price Trigger went for. :frown:
Nelly would be more fun than a stuffed horse... :icon_lol:

For the amount of money that "Nellie Belle" sold for, you could buy a LOT of WW2 Willys Jeeps, complete with machine guns...etc..!!! Even throw in some Sherman Tanks.

They even got Bullet for 30K..a poor stuffed dog, sorry guys, but Trigger and Bulletīs fate seems wrong, both should have been interred after passing away, not stuffed and mounted somewhere..why didnīt they stuffed Roy himself then?..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yep, something very not right about stuffing a dog and horse like that. Just seems wrong on so many levels.

YEA OBIO, I agree..
It seens a bit strange to stuff an Horse or Dog..
But a ex-wife, that sounds OKAY..:jump:

If I had that kind of money you can bet your .... ummmm ... you can bet I wouldn't be buying no dead horse or dog.

Now then, Hobbit, if you wanna stuff my ex-wife ... feel free, just stuff her some place where I won't know where she is.

Maybe not Nelly Belle, but I've always had a preference for the Willys MB. Those jeeps were awesome! Maybe someday I'll have another one, but doubt it. Parts are not as hard to get as you'd think. But not cheap to maintain.
