Guest Contributor Carolyn Pritchett of the Treasure Hunter’s Cove submitted today’s eBay Seller Success Story:
This is the first version of Tony the Tiger, offered by Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes in 1970. He is 14" tall with a fabric head and furry body.
He has some yellow age spots on his face - I used a baby wipe and have erased many of them, I believe that what is left can be removed, I will defer to the collector to properly clean his face to remove the rest - I did this to see if in fact he would clean up and yes he will. I just gave him a lick and a promise that someone more knowledgeable than me would take care of him. I paid 50 cents for him and he sold to a buyer in Japan for $49.99!
