What Were These Called? (Pottery animals)

Lots on eBay- I bought some for gc. Our Oxfam shop has a few. I think they are great for children to collect.

I had lots, I used to buy one each week in my teens. I don't know what happened to them in the end. I slightly regret not keeping them.

They have lots at an antiques centre I occasionally wander round and I sometimes feel tempted to start another collection. Then I remind myself that I am trying to declutter.

FannyC - there is a tortoise on eBay atm!

Fanny I have an Otter and a Fox, I shall have to hunt them down and post a picture.

We used to collect them from Christmas crackers. Haven't seen them for years.?

There is nearly always a little box of them on someone’s stall at car boot sales in our area. My DD loved them when she was little. They just fitted in her hand and she often just held one.

I'm going to ask the DGC if they still have them (bet they went to the school Christmas sale!)

I bet that is where the ones I gave and also bought for the gc have gone! Just hope they are loved by whoever bought them.

Katek, I had a tortoise, but it was a bit bigger than the other Whimsies. Unfortunately it got broken.
