Red Rose Tea animals


My aunt who lived next door had several of these. For a period of time you would get one free in a box of Red Rose tea. She used to hide them around the house for us to find, it was a great game for little kids.

These are referred to as Wade figurines. My MIL has an extensive collection -- there's Noah's Ark, the Circus, and a few other "themes" that could be found. You find them in antique stores, now.
