Hagen-Renaker
New Old Stock
Miniatures
Republican Elephant A-308
This Elephant is NOS stock from the HR factory. Shipping is included with the price.
I am honored to present the last inventory of the famous California pottery, Hagen-Renaker.
In my listings, you may see unusual items mixed in with standard issue. Variations and Special Runs will turn up, but I do NOT pick models to order. There may be 4 of the same model shown available by a listing. Please do not ask me to "pick out a lighter one", etc. I blind box to each customer.
In addition to the regular run inventory, I purchased Samples (how the factory tried out final decoration), Tests (slip and underglaze colors), and Seconds. Oddly, Seconds can be very nice, and may only be missing a small decoration or luster overglaze. Some Seconds are indistinguishable from first quality, but are honestly identified as the factory did.
COA
Each item comes with a full color COA. Each auction item has an inventory number listed in the title and photo. This number will be hand written on the back of each COA and photos will be stored in case a COA is misplaced in the future. Please do not ask for multiple COAs, these have been created exclusively for our auctions by Hagen-Renaker Inc.
Tests, Samples, Seconds and New Old Stock
We are going to great lengths to describe each piece as accurately as possible. Tests and Samples were pulled from a specific area in the factory and separated by the employees. We worked to locate, identify and to keep tests and sample separate from other products. Seconds were stored in a locker and placed there by employees to be examined at a later date. Seconds have minor flaws that would have kept it from being sent to a customer. New Old Stock is all of the current stock that can be found on the 2021 order forms for miniatures and specialties.
Comes from a smoke free home!
Prices have been increased due to postal increases 8-15-2023. There is no more parcel post, it's now ground advantage and averages $4 a package at .3 ounces. Since we offer free shipping, once we buy a box and COA we need to make a little for the animal.
