(Last pic for reference purposes only to show figurines in entire series)

Made of porcelain. Figurine has nice overall glaze coverage & good details.

NO nicks, chips or cracks.

No restorations, repairs, retouches or re-coloring have been done.

Figurines in this series range in size from approx. 3/4"-2" High by 3/4"-1-3/16" Wide Base

Made in England by Wade

Note: Roughness around the edges & bases of these figurines is a normal part of the manufacturing process & not a defect.

GIN Bonus: One additional "mystery" Wade Whimsie of my choice in same condition as above

Red Rose began giving away Wade miniatures in 1967. Figurines were given away in Quebec, Canada as part of a short term promotion. The results were so successful that the promotion was gradually extended until it covered all of Canada. In 1983 the promotion was finally launched "full scale" in the United States. To date, it is estimated that more than 300 million Wade figurines have been given away in packages of tea in America.

Interesting Fact: Many men used to carry these in their pockets. The rough, ridged bottom made for a good match striker!

** I have quite a few duplicates - please ask if you're looking for something in particular **
