One of the more interesting discoveries is H260 Hunter, with the tail attached, vs. the more common ‘tail not attached? which contrary to this catalogue, is the scarcer of the two models.
Several models which were thought to be quite rare have surfaced in auctions. Model 1541 Cat - seated, in dark pewter was recently sold for £1,000, model 2238 Owl, by Harry Sales, sold for £300 and model 1501 Huntsman in rocking horse grey recently sold for a staggering £4,950, in excess of our £2,000 catalogue price.
Beswick cattle are also bringing record prices, particularly the "Red Frieisan?colourway, model 1362A Red Friesian Cow sold for £1,000, model 1439A Red Friesian Bull sold for £1,500, and model 1249C Red Friesian Calf sold for £800.
