<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 11349131, member: 308"]Sorry, I should have been more specific. The manufacturing process was different in the two examples. The first example has a much more open bottom than the second example. And the second example shows a small hole in the bottom which (if I understand correctly) was used to allow heat to escape. The first example would not have needed that hole since the bottom wasn't enclosed. I associate the enclosed bottom with the small hole with older figurines and the open bottom with more modern examples. It's not a hard and fast rule but, in this case, the combination of the color palette and the bottom difference leads me to believe the first example is more modern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
