Odd-looking Flap Cat…

[PhoenixTears]

What I think my computer is showing me is that the necklace jewel here is blue… like the black flappers. Also, the dots of blue continue up the collar like the black. The Siamese has a purple jewel with 2 blue dots and 2 purple dots up the sides of the collar.

Just thought Id note that. Obviously Melody has the final say! If it’s a hidden treasure, congrats!

Okay, it was finally sunny enough around here to take some better pictures of this little guy!

PhoenixTears you are correct, the jewel is blue and although the dots are damaged on one side, the other side shows only blue dots on the collar.

I think I will try and get my hands on some acetone to clean off that black marking, and see if Melody can’t recognize the initials on the bottom. Thanks!

Forever seeking: Blackwatch the raffle Old Warrior, Jennifer Miller's pieces, and GB Baby unis!

Hello! I recently received a pair of bird winged Flap Cats to fix up, and the Siamese one looked rather odd to me. It’s wings are gold, with no trace of the purple or blue paint. There also seems to be gold interference paint on the wings as well. There is no felt pad, but a Pena 88 mark on the back where it should be. Here are some pictures!

The black bird winged cat that came along with this one has a felt pad, but it doesn’t say FLAP CAT on the bottom like I’ve seen in others.

Are these guys unusual? I’m hoping the Siamese isn’t a repainted one!Wow. I don’t know.. is the cat heavy like a normal cat? I think that is a real prototype paint job. I did paint some like that, but how that one got out, I have no idea! If it is real.. good find!…and it looks very real! If the pad got ripped off, that might account for the greyish mark on the bottom… I don’t know what the black rectangle on the bottom is, though.
