It will send him off reminiscing of the good old days. The old sticker reads: ‘Russ Berrie & Co., Inc. – Copyright 1965, 1968, 1970 – Unbreakable – Made in the USA – Wallace Berrie & Co. Inc.’. This cute grandpa figurine is also marked ‘W & R Berries Co. 1970’ molded into the figurine on the back base.
