This piece is part of the Webb & Bower Ltd. 1977 The Country Diary Collection produced by Andre Richards Co. It is called Chaffinch with Blue & White Periwinkle. The strange thing is, I can't find anything about it online, not a picture, nothing. It is some type of bottle, I am curious because it, at this point, is a mystery. One would think site's such as Etsy and Ebay would have it, but no. Anything you can find or help me with this is greatly appreciated.
This toys is from late 1960s I believe. Give to our family as a gift. The donkey is about 20 inches tall, about 15 inches in the saddle. It sits on an aluminum tube rocker which is about 36 inches long. The donkey is gray and black with a Mexican blanket for a saddle a a reign. It has an aluminum tube through the back of the neck for handles but plastic handles are gone. The tail is hanging on just barely.
