Avanti d'oro 1984 large Lynx cat plush toy

Hi Maxlet

Any more info on this.  I have also.  Saw on ebay selling 1985 Lynx for $400.

Can't find anything else.

Mine is NO. 88

Hi Louise, thanks for replying...I'd actually forgotten I put this up! I just did a bit of looking on ebay & Etsy, & found one Avanti (ebay) & one handmade one on Etsy that's not nearly as attractive as ours. The etsy one sold for $690 (https://www.etsy.com/listing/491843733/sold-lynx-evrydica?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=lynx%20toy&ref=sr_gallery_2)

The one on ebay ($300) has a long description which I find a bit confusing; it claims the toy is #646 & comes with a Letter of Authenticity....I didn't know they did LOAs, & at the very end of the description it says that they only made 500 of each design. Sooooo....why would there be a # in the 600s?? I'll give the url, but I'm inclined to take the info therein with a grain or ten of salt.

Thank you again for your reply, & if I find out anything else I'll let you know.

Best,

I don't have a lot of data on this company, other than this in my archive "The Applause Company manufactured this specialty line of better quality more realistic animals. It was a special line of the Avanti division called D'oro. The designer; Jockline was Italian. Applause has not been in business for many years. There is an Italian company (Piutre') continuing to make an Afghan dog designed by Jockline."
