Object history
Part of the Palitoy Archive. It is a Kenner sample which would have to packaging changed so it can be sold under the Palitoy and/or Chad Valley label.
This is a slightly later date that the others in the range and the postcard shows new characters introduced in 1982. These characters are ones listed as part of the Strawberryland Miniatures which are not shown in the leaflet of the products.
