1993 No. 10 (2) - An ostrich with slightly smaller eyes than all my others. Also, the colour is slightly different, although whether this is deliberate or just a result of too much exposure to sunlight at one time, I’m not quite sure. However, it’s different enough for me to decide it’s worth classifying as an original. Thanks to Thorndon Antiques and Collectables for this one. Toy Type: Ball Animal. No. of Duplicates: 0
