Classic  Boyds
*    Bearstones   *
 
 
Featured here are some one-of-a-kind early Classic Boyds Bearstones.
 
 In the early days of Bearstones, Folkstones, & Dollstones,  numbers below 150 were not released to the general public; they went to Boyds employees.    So, it has always been difficult to find these low numbers available to collectors.
However, there have been instances where the Boyds employees have sold their collections.
 
Because of the unique status of these retired Boyds, all sales are final on retired items.
 
 

Sir Edmund ... Persistence
"Sir Edmund ... Persistence"
Bearstone Series
Issued:  1996
Retired:  1999
 
First Edition / #25
The figure is in perfect condition; has never been displayed. 
It will come in its original green box, which is also in good condition.
I have noticed that most of these pieces that are low numbers, also have very good painting, with no drips or misses.   This figure is painted perfectly!

Quotation on side of rock
Here is the quote on the side of the"rock".
This is a terrific quotation from Calvin Coolidge.

Bottom measures approximately 3.5" x 3".

Bottom of Sir Edmund ... Persistence
Here is a picture of the bottom - you can see that it is a very low number!

Great quote on the bottom!!

The last Collectors Value Guide gave a value of $97.00 for a first edition.
This is even better, because of its very low number.
 
It is difficult to find some of these older pieces.
