    Description

    This is an amazing set of animals when you consider the realistic detail and color. Unfortunately all are damaged except for the pair of brown bears. This set is easily over 100 years old and made by Raphael Tuck & Sons, United Kingdom. Thankfully most of the box is here to identify the maker. The size of the animals range from the house cats (4 3/4" long x 2 3/4" tall) to the African elephants (9 5/8" long x 7" tall). Originally every pair of animals was connected by 2 bands of cardboard and would stand on their own creating a wonderful 3D effect. Although they are not too brittle and can be handled, poor storage has left many with missing antlers, legs, ears, trunk or tails. These are still so beautiful that someone crafty could frame up a wonderful colleague, possibly even overlapping the damaged areas with other animals. There are quite a few pieces, 38 pairs in all. Good luck!
