Reminds me of some tea pets I’ve seen, but I’ve never seen one with a base that colour. I think the two holes are a significant clue. Either way...
LOL!! My buyers are eBay and stall holders, they don’t need encouraging— but maybe I’ll throw a story in next time!
Depending on the market dolls can turn a good profit. Barbies are pretty crazy, for example. Don’t know about older dolls but I recommend getting...
*Please file under: “things that made me go scrutinize my own collection” :(
That is a very, very good point— it was acquired in a war-zone. That went right over my head.

[ATTACH] A toy pussycat from 70s British TV! He had an aesthetic revival in the noughties, lots if toys and stationary made with his image :)
Well the mould has been around enough to get onto Getty, but annoyingly they don’t cite bunny’s origin: [ATTACH] Possibly untraceable, as I...
