I have great pleasure in presenting a Beswick collection of four Fred Flintstone figures with an extremely rare backstamp on one of them, which are described as follows:

 

1.        Fred Flintstone from a limited edition of only 2000 in 1996 standing 4.75” high in immaculate condition with the normal John Beswick backstamp.

2.        Wilma Flintstone from a limited edition of only 2000 in 1996 standing 4.75” high in immaculate condition with the normal John Beswick backstamp.

3.        Barney Rubble from a limited edition of only 2000 in 1996 standing 3.75” high in immaculate condition again with the normal John Beswick backstamp.

4.        EXTREMELY RARE BETTY RUBBLE from a limited edition of only 2000 in 1996 standing 4” high in immaculate condition.  HOWEVER, the Beswick backstamp clearly states that this figurine is WILMA FLINSTONE when it should read BETTY RUBBLE.  Clearly this is an extremely rare factory mistake which could probably be a one off from the 2000 models made, hence the rarity of this particular piece. 

               

All models were commissioned by UK International Ceramics which is also inscribed on the respective bases.
