Made in England. Please refer to catalogue - shown on pg. 355 (wild animals) of THE CHARLTON STANDARD CATALOGUE OF BESWICK ANIMALS, 3^rd Edition. Model #569. Designed y Mr. Owen. 4 ¾” tall. Cream-colored, satin matt finish. It is the same design as the string holder but without the opening in the trunk. Too small for planter; maybe intended to hold trinkets.

Truly scarce. It is in its original (like-new) condition with absolutely no visible evidence of handling.  Few tiny color spots under glaze. It retains its full color and clarity. No discoloration. No cracks, hairlines, scratches, but light crazing. No stains or odors – it comes from a smoke-free home.

Please take note. Know your collectibles – their availability, condition, value, and maker. I research my stock through reputable, established catalogs. My prices are determined by catalog value, availability, and condition. I never describe them as - looks like, might be, or similar to; instead I give a true description of the condition and the maker if it is known to me. I offer authentic, good quality collectibles within a reasonable discount of their current value - and according to US Customs Service, antique starts at 100 years of age.

Many items I sell are pre-owned and might have visual and physical cues typical of an item that has been used. All items sold are considered old and as is condition. This does not mean they are damaged.  Again, know your collectibles.

Ask all questions before bidding to avoid misunderstanding. I do not negotiate prices, accept purchase offers, or otherwise alter the auction's terms, nor do I pay for shipping unless posted. Please do not ask. Buy/bid with confidence.

PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE.

SHIPPING: I choose boxes as small as possible, keeping safety in mind. I do not charge for shipping materials. I take precautions by using bubble wrap, peanuts, and Styrofoam - as needed. If you want the item insured, let me know by end of auction and I will include it as a handling fee. FREE SHIPPING TO CONTINENTAL USA ONLY. PLEASE AWAIT INVOICE TO AVOID SHIPPING FEE ERROR.

International Buyers – Please Note:

* Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

* Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

* We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

And thanks - I’m a one-man show trying to keep it human. Buy/Bid with confidence.
