Hi, I am new to collecting zoo animals (mainly Britains but also some Starlux) after firstly rediscovering the floral gardens, and recovering my children's mini collections from the loft. It's slightly worrying how compulsive it has all become! This forum has been a revelation. I do have a question which, despite googling, I haven't been able to find an answer. When the zoo animals started to be produced in plastic, were they hand painted (as I understand from an old article that the lead ones were outsourced to homeworkers)? I have noticed a wide range of differences in the ones I have collected so far eg the panthers, that I'm intrigued to know the answer.
Hope someone can help
Best wishes, Ros
