#0801 Beswick Penguin Chick rare pink or white tube-like flowersBeswick Penguin Chick #801 Gloss Collector Note: it is unmarked to base other than for the word ENGLAND. It is not unusual to see earlier examples of BESWICK to only be marked with a model number or ENGLAND to base (or not at all) there was not a lot of space for the backstamps and it doesn't seem as prevalent on very early examples like this! The shape, design and figure can easily be confirmed as BESWICK Designer: Arthur Gredington Issued: 1940 1973
