Wade Whimsies - Colourway Variations Wade Whimsies Production Errors, Trial Colourways, Samples, Variations & Oddities 2006/08 - U.S. Red Rose Tea Promotion Set #6 - Pet Shop Friends Series HTF - Lime Kittens This particular figurine was produced using the vintage (pre 2006) pressed method of production with the very fine lines on the bottom. Which makes this an early vintage trial Colourway test/sample. The actual production of the Pet Shop Series was done using the new solid casting method (2006 on forwards) which had wide lines on the bottom. While many of these unusual colour variations were produced as colour trials / samples & tests and were originally submitted for use in numerous promotions i.e Tom Smith, General Foods and others, they were in the end never put into actual production. Others were simply just production errors that got produced in an odd colour and were found inside boxes of tea or crackers. They did however eventually end up in the marketplace through Wade Fairs and Sales over the years and are quite rare and very hard to find. Most of them were produced using the vintage "Pressed Method" of production and all predate 2006. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listing Details & Terms of Sale ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The figurine in the pictures is the one on offer in this listing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As is the case with every Wade "Whimsies" figurine, each one is slightly different & every one is unique.
