Hi all! I went to an antique show today, mostly to be sociable and wander around, seeing what was what. I turned down an aisle, and from mid-way across the room I spotted this beauty! I was so afraid someone would snatch it up in the time it took me to get to it, but I was very lucky. This is a Papa Ted HOM from January 2008, still in its original box and in absolutely pristine condition. Bright colors, all windows intact, dog figure and composite balcony firmly attached. I was thrilled to get it!
