First, the marked pair, the previously
identified pig is on the right, in a new pale pink colour (like those Goshen
Fair pigs!), the newly discovered sculpt is on the right, in a plastic shade
matching the previously seen version. Note that she also has a relatively
uneven engineer's letter stamped 'HONG
KONG' in addition to the ZIP-mark.
However, on looking at all the pigs (there
was 50 or so altogether in the box) it was obvious that two of the totally
unmarked pigs went with the older sculpt, including a second of the newer-found
sculpt - all upper shot.
While the lower shot harks back to the
priapism of horses in the previous post (above link), only it's an un-ascribed
generic pig which is priapic this time, the Zip
pig seemingly a eunuch!
I stress, these are nominal ID's, as they
are unmarked, but like the two foals last time, I'm pretty sure they are Zip and will continue to look out for
other additions to this growing 'known' line and/or an actual set.
You can see from the whole sample (bags
are, from the left; 1 Britains, 2 other
British/known and 3 Zip/believed Zip) that there is a lot still to ID as
far as HK/China-piggies goes! I have larger numbers in the attic and more in
the garage from storage . . . one day, he says with little belief; one day!
Actually, I think the marbled one and the similar gray ones along with some of
the black ones are actually Corgi but
they can wait for a better sorting session.
