    This was perhaps my beat find from a week of antiquing. It is the Gabriel Lone Ranger's Horse Silver with the 8-Way Saddle Box. See photo #2 for details about the 8-Way Saddle. I was told this was towards the end of the line for this toy line which was made in the 1970s. Not exactly sure when it was made, the toy line is still a bit obscure so there isn't as much information on it as for GI Joe. I actually have a pretty decent collection of these and I don't know all that much about them.
    This is a 10" toy line which is a bit smaller than the 12" figures like GI Joe and Johnny West. It's a bout the same scale as Big Jim I believe.
    One of the features of the Lone Ranger horses was the base and that the horse is articulated. . Thus the horse could do the Hi-Ho Silver thing. Marx made an articulated horse but it could barley stand up so the base is a very useful feature.
    Got this also with a Lone Ranger figure although he is missing the mask. I have a spare around here somewhere. The figure is a free bonus at the price I paid. Main thing here was getting a good clean horse. The white color tends to get dirty and stained. This is probably the cleanest one I have seen in person.
    Plenty more of this series for Show and Tell to come!

      A handsome white steed.
      Why 8 way action? I only saw 4, unless you change from right hand to left hand I guess.

      Thank you very much racer4four. I didn't even try to figure it out. Don't think Silver would like it if he knew he was being used as a shield. I just see two ways, normal and hanging on the side as shown. The saddlebags are also considered one of the ways.

      Just a response to your handle...Fort Apache is also a place. A bit NW of Safford AZ...a little bitty town that I adore. It has an old theater there called the Pima...marquis the whole nine yards (closed now).
