Donkeys!

Everyone loves a DONKEY!  Julip have had one or two in their range for many years.  The earliest example I own is Greta from the early 1960s.
She's in poor condition, but fortunately the dreaded gummy-ness has halted and she's now solid again.  You can see how she was painted using a brush with thick paint.

The 1970s donkey was slightly different ... this mould was discontinued in 1989.
And they even had their own little foal! This was also discontinued in 1989.

In 2010, Julip celebrated their 65th anniversary and introduced a brand new donkey model!
