Bidspirit auction | A Rupert Bear Figure, Two

A Rupert Bear Figure, Two Ceramic Horses, and Six Costume Dolls - An assortment of vintage toys and collectable figures. The collection includes a moulded vinyl figure of the comic strip character Rupert Bear, depicted in his iconic orange sweater and yellow chequered trousers. There are two glazed ceramic figures depicting heavy horses: one is a skewbald horse fitted with a black harness featuring silver-toned chain and stud detailing, and the second is a dark brown horse with white leg feathering. The lot also includes six costume dolls. One larger doll features a composition head and cloth body, dressed in a regional European outfit with a wicker basket. Five smaller plastic dolls are included, each wearing international or folk costumes, including a lavender outfit, a red chequered dress, and one with a tall headdressed. This doll with the headdress has a white rectangular paper retail tag attached to the underside of its skirt. The tag is printed with the word Articolata in black characters. Below this is a numerical string reading 711-00-95-50 followed by further illegible digits. To the right, within a separate box, is the printed number 220. No other maker marks, stamps, or labels are visible on the items.
