Any model horse enthusiasts here? How much would this be worth?

OH just looked at this and said, 'keep it !'. He did say however, that as a concept, it could be worth quite a bit of money, if marketed and used to sell more copies.
 
Def keep it, I would have loved something like that when I was a child and your future children may want it!
I used to collect model toys when I was a child. I have hundreds of Breyers and other types. I should probably sell them as they are just sitting in a plastic bag in the attic now!

couldnt find the patience to copy paste each URL :)

Unfortunatly the smaller stable is in need of an update, need to strip off the glue and put nails in instead to make it neater, put the wiring in to a tube case so its not hanging there all loose and attempt to hide the wiring at the back somehow with screw access ! i do like the little one though, its made of tougher stuff.

I'm another one who thinks you should keep them!

As a child many years ago I had a set of Britains stables that were wooden and I spent many happy hours playing with them and really wished I had kept them for my children and now grandchildren too. Every time I see the plastic ones they have now I shake my head and mutter how things were better when I was a girl!!
 
Definitely keep it, you will regret it in future years if you let it go. It is a unique piece of your childhood with your grandfather.
 
Thankyou everyone for such lovely replies, i'm glad you all like them. The single stable will be brought up to scratch and then more than likely sold- not sure why but this one doesnt hold as much sentimental value compared to the other larger one !

Think I shall keep the larger one for now, but I feel like I want to make more for the horsey model people who get as frustrated as I do at cheap plastic rubbish with doorknobs on the stable doors and unrealistic designs ! :p I'll let you all know if i get chance to make another stable block- probably a larger one next time :) I think I will end up making one
 
Now I've seen the pics, I say definatly keep it, its lovely, I would have killed for something like that when I was younger ! and you would really regret selling it on esp as if someone buys it pretty cheap and has no sentimental attachment to it, it will more than likely get wrecked....its too nice for that :) however if you do go into taking orders for your grandad to make, please put me on the list, (may need to have it made in a slightly stronger wood though :)). I spent weeks last christmas trying to find authentic but sturdy stables for my daughter, ended up with these horrible plastic flimsy stables that came as part of a farm yard set that fell apart in less than a week :(, wasn't cheap either.

I shall let you know! oh i know, i have many breyer stables that are crappy plastic. I am looking at materials nows and sorting out ways to make them to be sturdy and long lasting
 
I would keep it!!!

I have the "Julip" models, I have a complete stable block and also x3 "Julip" horses including all tack, rugs etc and people!!! I was given them as a child but I dont think I could part with them. I dont know if they still make them now though.

But I thought I would pass them down to my children (when I have them!).
