Rupert Annual Wade Whimseys
This lot comprises a collection of Wade Whimsies originally issued with Rupert Annuals, alongside a selection of Robertson Golly badges. The Wade Whimsies are miniature ceramic figures depicting characters and scenes from the popular Rupert the Bear stories. These charming collectibles were highly sought after by children and collectors alike, adding to the appeal of the annual publications. The Robertson Golly badges, also collectible, complement the Rupert theme and offer a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era.
Condition and Collectibility
The Wade Whimsies and Robertson Golly badges show signs of age and wear consistent with their vintage nature. Some pieces may exhibit minor chips, crazing, or paint loss, which is typical for items of this age. Despite these imperfections, the collection remains a desirable item for collectors of Rupert memorabilia, Wade ceramics, or vintage character collectibles. The combination of both Wade Whimsies and Golly badges makes this a particularly interesting and complete lot.
