Sales list. Horses and other items pictured are from Ponylope's personal collection and should be referred to for identification purposes only. Unless stated otherwise, photographs DO NOT show the actual items for sale. Numbers are from Richard O'Brien's Collecting American Made Toy Soldiers, 3rd ed., 1997. Both paint condition and color variations among otherwise identical figures are very important for Beton toys, and every attempt has been made to provide accurate verbal descriptions of those features. More photos can be e-mailed — just ask! No breaks, splits, cracks, chips, scuffs, repairs, or significant wear [unless noted]. May have mild paint wear [worse is noted]. In hard plastic unless stated otherwise.

Want a Bergen Toy & Novelty item that you don't see here? Just e-mail Ponylope your *wish list* and ask her to let you know when those special pieces come in. Ponylope buys Bergens — let her  know what you have to sell.
