Aaarhhh! I just noticed that when I put my Mod hat on and changed the title ... I did it for one post ... not for the thread. :thud: Now corrected.

Thank you Kevin, I'll ask the caterpillar to give you a hug from me!!
Rosie.  :sun:

Thank you pl79 and Meegs  :kissy:
Where are you Rose? Is this as good as your 'Secret'?
I am waiting for you to find an animated caterpillar for me....you seem to be able to add animations....I can't! :cry:
Hello Mod, has the title re-jig worked, it seems to have reverted to the original?? Can you check for me please?
Rosie.  :sun:

 :hiclp: :hiclp:  Very Nice indeed!!!  

Yup, as good as my secret, and Good Eyes!!  I am Happy for you too!!  I think you'll have to name him "Ronnie the Ronneby Caterpillar"

** See your BIG animated Caterpillar in the Cafe.  Just 4U  :kissy:

Thanks Rose and Ross.....I knew it was a Ronneby piece, but I would really love to know who actually made 'Ronnie' and what the numbers mean?  Ingela, where are you?

Rosie! Congratulations! He’s gorgeous, beautiful!   :thup:

Your caterpillar, C-826, was made approx. 1978-1982

C stands for "COMBINATION"
meaning the designs were a combination from Josef + Benito Marcolin


I have a caterpillar, signed: Marcolin Sweden C-826, made approx. 1984-1985
10" long and 6" high

Hi Inca  :hi:
I am so pleased you like him.....yours is spectacular....and so different.  Rose has christened mine 'Ronnie', does yours have a name??
I couldn't believe my luck as I did a Buy it Now for about half what I would have expected to pay for him, and coupled with the 2 Marcolin Swans, I really had a very good 'Scandi' week.  When it took 4 weeks for this to come from USA, I was really worried that I had lost it!!
Thank you for explaining the letters and numbers ...... I want another one now!!

Hi Rosie,

I am pleased that you like my caterpillar.  :rah:
He doesn't have a name. Could he be Ronnie too, or maybe Ronnie 2?  

4 weeks from USA. I know how it feels to wait, I once waited 8 weeks for a Ronneby squirrel to arrive, and I was worried that it had been lost in the mail.

My caterpillar is a bit different and I don't see this effect often, but I just love it!

Marcolin have some stunning effects. Have a look at this one!
