Up for sale is an early Zip the Cat (style 4004) in the rare white face & white belly version.
There are three main versions of Zip:
1. Solid all-black (no white face or belly) – the scarcest
2. White face with white belly (this one)
3. White paws version (later production)This is the desirable early white-face version with the classic black body, white muzzle/face, white belly, and pink inner ears.Collector details:
• 3rd generation hang (heart) tag still attached and in tact)
• Original $5.00 price sticker intact on the back of the hang tag
• 1st generation tush tag (super desirable to all collectors alike!)
• PVC pellets
• © 1993 Ty Inc.
• Handmade in China
The hang tag has a visible crease (clearly shown in photos), which is typical on these early tags. The beanie itself is clean and well-kept.
Early 3rd gen hang + 1st gen tush on the white-face Zip are harder to find than the later mass-produced examples. The original $5.00 price sticker still attached is a nice bonus that many collectors appreciate for the original retail history.
Ships carefully from a smoke-free home with tracking.
Display case included with purchase.
