I thought these might be Pirelli because of the feet and because the colour of the ears match that of my snake charmer's hat. :lol:
They don't have the three layered eyes though.

I paid around £2 for the set. Thanks, Tony.

Looks OK for Pirelli, I have similar but unlabelled.

I shall hang onto them until attributed to Pirelli for certian.

Did they make a lot of different animals?

Seems to be lots but of course hard to attribute unlabelled until lots more are known.

Coming soon...

There will be a substantial update to the site soon, just have to photograph them all and organise all the backlog of contributions.... :?

The unknowns and uncertains will be listed too on a separate section to attract identification.

I am happy to take broken labelled examples too.

tony what size is the smallest dog?

Tigerchips · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2006, 08:20:25 PM »

Just under 2 inches (5cm) tall.

thanks Tony, i'm just wondering how many different size's they made of each animal, i've got a dog that is 9" long and a dog which is tiny at 0.75" high

How would they put a sticker on a dog that size? :lol:

Perhaps the biggest one held the sticker. Did they originally come in boxes? I've never seen one.

Also, do the sets always come in three's?

me and Frank are not to sure about the boxes, he says that the pirelli glass ware came in plain white boxes, the only one's we've seen boxed are the Guinness Animals that was in an auction a while ago not on ebay, but saying that i might have one boxed on the way, they could of been made in set's of 3's as i've 4 set's of 3's, have you got any Frank?

Not that came as sets. But the Guinness came as sets of 5 in 2 sizes and the Disney characters are likely to have been setted. It is distinctly likely that selling sets was not impossible!
