Description

The spaniel dog is not marked. Marked, on box. Stamped, on underside of box. Spaniel is unmarked.
Condition
Excellent condition overall. Both tested and working. One original box with some detached flaps. Includes original ball. Scottie has minor staining on coat near keyhole. Spaniel shows some wear and fraying to mohair and fading to fabric.
