Peace is a multi-colored tie-dyed, bear with black button eyes and a larger black nose. He has a colorful peace symbol embroidered on his chest in orange, red, green, purple and yellow thread.
All races, all colors, under the sun
Join hands together and have some fun
Dance to the music, rock and roll is the sound
Symbols of peace and love abound!
Peace was released on 11th May 1997.
His Birthday is on 1st February 1996.
He was retired on14th July 1999.
SOME ITEMS OF NOTE:
missing UK on left side of hang tag (may be an issue, maybe not);
on the right side of this hang tag, there is no line space between the Peace™ line and birthday line, and Peace is in bold letters and typed in the Times New Roman font. Additionally, Gen 4 uses the Times New Roman font, the birthdate inside the hang tag is written numerically (ex. 2-1-96), replacing the spelled-out version, and the website listing will say "Visit our web page!!!" followed by the URL, including the"http://" at the start;
PVC Pellets on the THIS tush tag - note, Ty later (I think 1998) began using PE Pellets as part of an agreement with Greenpeace (PE pellets were apparently more 'environmentally suitable') (Gen 4 Beanies will also always have PVC Pellets);
a RED stamp inside a tush tag indicates the factory it was made in -- NO red stamp inside the tush tag means it was Handmade in China, Korea or Indonesia, and NOT mass-produced --in this case - no red stamp, Handmade in China;
on this THIS tush tag, it says, “The Beanie Babies ®” and on the line below that, "Collection™”. On later versions, there is only the ® symbol following the "Collection” line.
NOT Errors:
Beanie tags spelling Oakbrook as one word, NOT two, is NOT an error; that is how Ty intended it to be on both swing and tush tag;
the year noted on the hang tag and the tush tag not being the same is NOT an error. The year on the tush tag is when the name was copyrighted and does not necessarily match the birth year in the hang tag;
1965(KR) on the tush tag does not mean it was made in Korea. This refers to patent information only;
Hopefully, this all make sense!! Please let me know if you have any questions, if I made any errors, missed something, misstated something or otherwise goofed something up.
