NEW OLD STOCK FROM 2003 THE ORIGINAL 'G&G'
INFLATABLE 'PALO' HORSIE
This is a NEW, UNUSED, Lifesize Inflatable Palomino Horse.Often referred to as a 'Merek' or "G&G" Palo, yours to play with however you like. Originally introduced sixteen years ago, 2003, this was the Gold Standard for custom inflatable animals for several years, even used as mid-game entertainment by our professional L.I. Ducks ba...seball team, but it is now nearing the end of supply.
Construction is 20-gauge, textured vinyl, reasonably soft and flexible. Seams, as this was our first project, are pinch style. There are medium-sized valves on each leg and the body, and small valves on the mane and tail, for a total of seven chambers. See below for modifications possible to this design. He stands 6.5-feet (200cm) tall at the ears. These Palos are known to have a weak area on the negative curve under the neck and on the back, which will open under hard use and cause leaks.This horse has an external strip addedalong the neck and back curve to prevent this failure. It is a strip of clear vinyl, about 3/4 inch (2cm) wide and 8 inches (20cm) long glued neatly along the curve, and is barely noticeable. Let me know if you wish this done or not.
Tested airtight at time of shipping, no further guarantee is made, as it IS an inflatable and can be damaged by overinflation or excessive stress.
IF DESIRED, he can also be supplied still folded in the plastic shipping bag since being packed at the factory 16 years ago. Since he would not be opened and inflated to test, there will be no guarantee against the possibilty of a factory defect, leaky seam, or imperfection. If there is any issue, it is the responsibility of the buyer.
Due to the use of undersized valves on this item, compared to the larger valves now commonly used on custom inflates, some modifications are possible. Additionally, the multi-chamber design allows for some changes to be made to inflation points. If interested, contact me for details before bidding or paying.
NOTE! Since this is an inflatable, there is a possibility of damage being caused by misuse or overinflation. Due to this and also for sanitary reasons, THIS SALE IS FINAL, there can be NO returns.
