ANTIQUE ERRIS TOYS (IRELAND) PINK AND WHITE MOHAIR DOG WITH MAKERS LABEL

Marshmallow is a charming antique dog made in Ireland by Erris Toys (later known as Tara Toys). She dates from 1949- 1950 and still retains her makers label stitched to the tip of her left back paw. Her label is white cloth with red stitched lettering, and is worded:MADE IN
REPUBLIC
OF IRELAND
When I bought her she had an old label on a string around her neck. with ‘Marshmallow’ written on it in pencil. obviously by a child. I still have the label (somewhere!) and will send it with her when she goes to her new home.She measures approximately 9 inches in height from front paws to top of head, and 9 inches in length from nose to tail. She is made of pink and cream mohair which retains approximately 95% coverage. Her mohair is clean and soft and retains very good unfaded colour.
She is filled entirely with wood wool which is very firm and still evenly distributed. She is unjointed (permanently in sitting position). She is a very clean dog with no musty or unpleasant odours.
She has original (stitched in) glass eyes and original black vertical stitched nose with longer downwards end stitches and muzzle.Please take the time to look at the listing photographs before bidding as they form an important part of the description.
Marshmallow has no serious faults or damage of any sort. She has very light general playwear, none of which merits individual note, but is generally in very good condition. Her antique 1940s pink silk neck ribbon is not original her.

  BORING BUT IMPORTANT . . .
I reserve the right to cancel bids placed by bidders with zero feedback, or negative feedback due to non payment.I never end my auction listings early/accept offers as I think it is unfair and very disappointing for bidders and watchers, many of whom wait until the final hours or minutes of the auction to place bids.Every item I list on eBay is offered for sale at a very low starting price (well below it’s actual value) and with no reserve.My auctions always end in the evenings (UK time) and (provided payment is received) items are posted/shipped the next day Monday to Friday (auctions ending on Saturday – items are posted/shipped Monday).International bidders, please remember that your purchase may be subject to customs charges.
Customs charges vary from country to country, and are the responsibility of the buyer.
If payment has not been made within 48 hours of listing end time, or unless prior arrangement has been made & agreed, a non payment case will be opened automatically.
Please keep in mind that 99.9% of the items I sell on eBay are old, antique or vintage, and that they were originally made for children . . . and originally belonged to children, who loved them very dearly (sometimes a little to dearly!) Some will have been handed down to generations of their original owner’s children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren . . . and therefore they will have varying degrees of playwear, and/or other age related flaws or issues . . .
35 years of dealing in and collecting antique juvenalia has given me a reasonably comprehensive knowledge of the items I sell – I do my upmost to describe every item accurately and describe in detail any playwear, flaws or other faults in my listings, and as also provide the highest quality, close up, clear photos of the item. My listing photographs are always taken outdoors in good light in order to show the item as accurately and clearly as possible.
Also, please remember that although the items I sell were orginally children’s toys, they are now antique collecter items – they are not suitable for children, or safe for children. They do not conform with todays safety standards, and must be regarded as antique collectors items only.
