LOT 1 - 24 Wade English Whimsies, from the Red Rose Tea boxes- no duplicates in each lot. I collected these when I was a kid & they've been hidden away (& forgotten) for almost 30 years! All are in perfect condition, no chips or cracks, still bright & shiney, just like new. Everything I have are from previous to 1979, most from the very early 70's. Have broken them into 2 different lots & identified them as being from sets 1 thru 11 (of the 12 offered til 1979-80). Plus a few that are from 67'-73'. Some have the recessed mold mark on the bottom, the rest have the mold mark on the bottom edge. I think a couple are Canadian exclusives - notably the butterfly & white poodle dog (in lot 2)- most likely received from my moms friend from BC who saved them for me. LOT 1 includes these 24 pieces:Set 1 (1971): Fawn, Rabbit, Mongrel Dog, Kitten, Cocker SpanielSet 2 (1972): Duck, Beaver, Fox, Bushbaby (missing the Corgi)Set 3 (1972): Otter, Owl, Trout, Setter (missing bearcub)Set 4 (1973): Giraffe, Hippo, Lion, Chimp (missing elephant)Set 5 (1974): Alsation Dog, Hedgehog w/recessed mark (missing squirrel, pinemarten & mouse)Set 9 (1978): Angel Fish, *Turtle w/ recessed mark (missing dolphin, pelican & seahorse) *Note: this turtle is possibly not from 78, maybe 67-73- is very pale green & flatter than the later versions & has the recessed mark read more
