<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 4958794, member: 18081"]Hi all! I would love your thoughts on this little camel I just picked up from my local thrift store. To me it looked like a repro old style toy until I saw the neck and foot labels and thought that it may actually have a bit of age (along with the glass eyes). I have done a bit of research and the "Merrythought Hygienic Toys Made in England" foot tag appears to only have been used in the 1930s. Do you think that the camel is that old? It's virtually pristine. I can't find another like it or much info on the other animals that Merrythought created, especially the earlier ones. Hopefully someone can help me out with this one! It is 8"H. Thank you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]413931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413932[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]413933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413936[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
