Once, in Glasgow City Centre, there broken-down to be a colossal department store known as Lewis’s. It was a beezer of a store and I light possess several objects sold there through the years till it ceased to be, at some point soon, I deem, within the 1990s – though some sources give significant later (and incorrect) dates than that. Attend in 1979 or ’80, I purchased (and light have) a Yogi Undergo bank (above) and, if memory serves, the copyright date on the poly get’s header card was 1977. (The header card is stashed away somewhere, otherwise I would possibly perchance well double-look at.) Anyway, now not too long ago, on eBay, I spotted a porcelain decoration of Yogi, under, and snapped it up, as it was nearly the double of the bank. There is a 1976 date on the wait on of this Yogi, so it seems to be likely that the bank was modelled after the decoration as the similarity of pose is too conclude to be coincidental.
Nonetheless, things by no method streak with out danger though, procure they? Its estimated arrival was the 4th of this month, however the Spanish postal provider managed to bollox things up by come what would possibly perchance mistaking the sender’s address for my possess and delivered it wait on to him, ensuing in eBay informing me that my parcel had been delivered – even though it wasn’t to me. This resulted within the center-broken vendor having to post it a 2d time and, fortunately, it arrived lately. So being the beneficiant particular person I’m, I method I would possibly perchance well allow you to cop a see at it, by itself and additionally with its Lewis’s predecessor. No time or wretchedness spared in making ready posts for you, faithful Crivvies, so I am hoping you would possibly perchance well honour me with a commentary or twenty asserting how significant you cherish it. What, me an optimist? Nah! Whereas you happen to have most effective this kind of Yogis, which would possibly perchance it be – and why?
