  this is true

well ive done a couple of pictures and put them through photoshop to try and make the stamp a bit more prominent...




still canmt work it out, think i may have photographed them upside down so you will have to do a headstand to take a proper good look, but it looks like it may be initials or a number, the first initial or number being a g or a 9...

I tried the pencil idea but not producing what I hoped. I've taken some more pictures I'm about to put them on PC and see if I can edit them so it stands out more. That second eBay one you put in there s the same one, pics are identical. In guessing they've re-listed it.

Hi there, I stumbled across this website while trying to identify a couple of items I found in the loft, I assume from the previous owners who are unfortunately un-contactable.
I was hoping to find out if anyone knows about these items and if they hold any value.
The first one is a Coalport paddington bear, it stands 4.5" high. see pics, looking for a value and more info if possible.




and the second is this rabbit, im not sure if it is a 'peter rabbit' or not, it has no printed markings however does appear to have some markings on the bottom which i cant make out, perhaps someone knows or is familier with the style?




I did find a couple of other pieces but lets see how we get on with these first.

Many thanks in advance

Glenn
