woo woo i am so exited i have just managed to get the last 2 peices to complete a set of wade whimseys dated 1958-1961 set 9 north american animals,
i paid £8.04 and £5.72 for the peices ( grizzly bear, and grizzly cub) they are worth £32 and £20 respectively and the set complete is worth £186 in the book i cataloged my collection last night so i could sell them but had a change of heart, its the only hobbie i have and its not the money i am interested in, i am going to try and complete all my sets with the help off ebay sellers who dont know what they have got, most peices are only worth £3- £4 each but as complete sets they are worth much more |

Are they made of jade? They look like it in the pics. I've never heard of them before but they are really cute.

no they are pottery jan, their are 7 in the set
a snowy owl worth £32 racoon worth £22 grizzly bear worth £32 3 bear cubs 2 worth £20 and 1 worth £28 cougar worth £32 i have paid about £60 in total buying the set seperatly they are all in mint condition, chipped ones are only worth pennies, i was lucky to get these 2 today from the same buyer to complete the set, i should buy a printers block so i can put them on display, at the moment they are are all wrapped up and stored in a draw they are worth more if i sold them has a complete set due to there age 1958 to 1961 and they are one of the sets not reproduced or added to at a later date. |

i have being going a bit mad on ebay this week, i am still waiting for 24 peices of wade to be delivered and i am bidding on a book in 3 hours, i had to give my friend money to save for me for food/smokes ect so i dont spend it all, my ocd is killing me financialy, i have spent £75 ($150) this week on wade, but it is worth it cause it makes me smile when i get a delivery from the post office.
i missed out on a good deal yesterday, there was a job lot of 40 wades, in original boxes, complete sets from 1 to 8 (20 sets in total) that i got outbid on in the dieing moments, that would have been nice to add to my collection, it is very rare to get the original boxes nevermind complete boxed sets |
