Victorian Riding Lady

The first of the true, non-produced prototypes. Little is know about this figure. Possibly designed for UK issue only (similar to the Black Knight). But I doubt that. Take a look at the Riding Crop accessory prototype in the bottom picture. It clearly lists a us part number 'PL-1508' and a US formated date ' 1-27-71 '. I believe this may have been designed here in the states, with a possible test market run in the UK but it never made it past the prototype stage. Another tantalizing item is the Black Beauty Horse. Issued in the UK in the 70's, this horse came with caramel English riding tack and silver plastic stirrups.... Just the kind of horse a Victorian Riding Lady would need, don't you think...? If anyone knows the real story behind this unique figure, please let me know. Thanks! Click on the picture to see the original image.
