So beautiful. Maybe you can see some of these at Arlington Mod and More Tour Oct 10-11.

The Viking Epic Line (produced from 1956 - 1975) introduced the Long Tailed Bird in 2 sizes in late 1961. They are most usually found in Persimmon, Bluenique, Avocado Green, and Root Beer (1970). The very rare Teaberry was only produced in 1961. I have also seen them in Amberina.
Be careful with those super delicate tails!!
