Most were exported simply with the “Made in Italy” mark but many were signed or bore the company logo and these can be quite valuable and can catch the attention of different collectors. </p><p>I believe that the concept of the “Spaghetti” pets probably had their origin in the studio of Teodoro Sebelin.
