Vintage Plush Toy w Vinyl Head OLD PORKY PIG No Marks



Up for bid is a plush stuffed toy with a vinyl head. I think by his wonderful face he is Porky Pig. He looks so much like the early plump pig with round happy face first seen in the cartoons from the 1930s. Note the clove foot shape of his "hands."
  • The piece has no markings or seam tags. I think it would date to the early 1950s or earlier... no later.
  • Toy measures approx 10" long.
  • Condition: The vinyl head has one tiny nick in edge of one ear but has no other noticeable wear. (One does not notice this unless examining him closely.) His face has such great color on features! The plush body shows much more wear, in form of graying and yellowing, with plush being thin and worn in a few areas. He smells a touch dusty but has no real "odor."

    He is such a happy fellow! Would bring cheer to any collection of vintage stuffed animals... and so nice for those collecting pigs!



  • SHIPPING INSIDE US: We do not charge a fixed rate for shipping. We base our shipping costs on the actual weight of the item. It is a "calculated" cost based on USPS postal zones. The more zones/further away you are from MD the greater the cost. This means to ship to California and other west coast states costs MORE than to ship to nearby neighboring states such as PA, NJ, VA etc. We will combine shipping on multiple purchases. Please note: We try to estimate actual weight of package as best we can. If package turns out a little bit lighter that expected, and shipping is less than calculator estimate, this difference was not intentional. We do not charge a handling fee.



    EXPLANATION OF SHIPPING COSTS INSIDE US (PLEASE READ): My goal is to keep your shipping costs as low as possible while wrapping safely/securely. We offer First Class OR Parcel Post in addition to Priority whenever there is a cost saving. We NEVER CHARGE A HANDLING FEE. When I list an item I estimate how much the package will weigh (securely wrapped) and enter that weight on the listing. eBay's listing page then provides you a calculated shipping from my zip code to yours, based on that weight. If your shipping seems HIGH, PLEASE CONSIDER WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED. If you have questions/concerns please write!



    PAYMENT DETAILS inside & outside USA (International): We accept PayPal and normally mail within 1 to 2 business days following receipt of payment. Payment is requested within five (5) business days.
  • Maryland residents also pay 6% sales tax.



  • INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: We welcome your bid! We will contact after auction with Worldwide shipping costs. Feel free to inquire for shipping options before auction ends. Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
  • These charges are normally collected by the shipping company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
  • We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

    Returns will only be accepted if item is NOT AS DESCRIBED in the listing.  I must APPROVE THE RETURN before item is sent back. Please read the following:
    I strive to provide a detailed description with multiple images and views of item. Please read the description carefully. For each item I include a section on Condition.  My goal is to sell interesting collectible items that are often unique. They are not "new" but have been previously owned, collected, and/or used through the years. For these reasons I try to take a thoughtful approach when completing the descriptions. Please feel free to inquire about concerns prior to bidding. Please understand that for an Auction Format sale  with multiple bidders, it is not feasible to allow items to be returned because buyer changes their mind. For these reasons, during my tenure selling on eBay I have handled customer return requests on a CASE BY CASE basis, based on the criteria set forth above.  If I agree to accept a Return the item must be returned in the same condition as it was sent to the buyer.
    The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
