Many companies have commissioned Wade Whimsies over the years. “The Camelot Collection,” based on the legend of King Arthur, includes Friar Tuck, The Wizard Merlin, Queen Guinevere, and King Arthur. Manufactured in 1997, the slip cast models were introduced at the Wade/Jim Beam fair in 1997 in Wisconsin. (Photos by Les Broich)

Royally whimsical enchantment for the common folk

Joe Van Beusekom began his serious collecting of Wade Whimsies two years ago. His own frame puts the size of these miniatures in perspective.

by Virginia Broich HOPKINS, MINN.Wade Whimsies convey an amusing, playful quality. These tiny porcelain characters live up to their name. Avid collector Joe Van Beusekom said that Wade Whimsies came from England, Ireland, and Canada; they are not U.S. originals. “Starting as a food premium, a gift with a purchase, the first Whimsies were produced from 1954 to

Wade Whimsies often came with Red Rose Tea, which had its own pet shop, stand, and set of cute pets, including puppies, rabbits, and kittens.

Warm up a fall bouquet and get some great leftovers.

by Joan Sween It being November, my work partner, Sandy, and I looked for Thanksgiving-themed items to arrange on our front display table. We had found a tobacco brown tablecloth that covered the whole surface of the table and hung down 12 inches all around, which was perfect, the table under it showing

the scars of the previous owner’s children. We sometimes described it as “an authentic distressed primitive.” We carried up figures of Puritans, turkeys, multi-colored flint corn cobs and other good things. I added a small hatchet to the table. Sandy insisted that it was a dangerous weapon and didn’t fit

By Joan Sween with our theme. I settled the argument by pointing out that the only danger involved was to the turkey, whose demise was a major theme of Thanksgiving. We got the display table all arranged and stood back to look at it. “It’s too flat,” said

Sandy. “We need something tall in the back.” “I know,” I said. “I’ll go collect colorful weeds and make a tall fall bouquet to stand at the back.” The next morning I arrived early and set a vase on the display table filled with milkweed stalks, rose hips, cattails, bright colored leaves, a bunch of bright red branches and lots of those things with bulb growths on the stems. It looked great. When Sandy arrived, she thought it was a perfect finishing touch. Some time later, our first customer of the day arrived. She exclaimed, “Oh, look at the Thanksgiving arrangement. Aren’t all those

Pilgrims sweet.” She moved closer to the table and screeched, “Aieeeee! They’re all over! Out, out, out!” she shouted as she headed for the door. “Never again!” “What on earth was that all about?” Sandy asked. We walked over to examine our table closer. Everything on it was crawling with worms! “Oh, yuk!” said Sandy. “The heat in here is waking up all the larvae that were hibernating for the winter. You did spray everything with a bug killer before you brought it in, didn’t you?”

The next morning I arrived early and set a vase on the display table filled with milkweed stalks, rose hips, cattails, bright colored leaves, a bunch of bright red branches and lots of those things with bulb growths on the stems. It looked great.

Dealer’s Choice Cont. from page 4

“Uhhh? Bug killer?” I said. “Huh!” said Sandy, rolling her eyes. “Well, you get to pick all the creepy crawlies off the table before we lose another customer.” “I don’t touch caterpillars! I whined. “Today you do,” said Sandy menacingly. “You brought them in; you take them out!” I found a pair of chopsticks in someone’s booth and used them to pick up each worm and drop it in a paper sack. I had just removed the last of the little nasty things when another customer walked in and Sandy started helping her. I nipped outside to put the sack in the trash container. When I came back, I noticed a bit of fluff floating in the air. Ignoring it, I rummaged under the service counter, looking for the stash of customer cookies. When I stood up, three bits of fluff bobbed in the air. Suddenly there were several more. Then the air was full of them. Sandy and her

customer came back up to the service counter. “Good heavens,” she said. “The cattails!” Sure enough, as the cattails warmed up, they were releasing their heads. The front of the shop was engulfed in a blizzard of fluffies dancing in the air. Moments later, they were so thick it was impossible to see through them. The shop door opened. The astounded voice of the mall manager was heard. “What on earth is going on?” We finally opened the front door and s shooed the fluffies out by flapping tea towels at them--the customer pitching in goodnaturedly. When the area was clear, our mall manager glared at me. “Don’t you know enough to give cattails a good coating of hair spray before you bring them in?” she demanded. “Uhhh? Hair spray? I said. “Tell you what. Why don’t I---” “No!” they all shouted at once--the customer pitching in good-naturedly. © 2017 Joan Sween

Among the first Whimsies manufactured was Set One of “English Animals” from 1954 to 1958. The “Spaniel with Ball,” part of a five animal series, had either a gray or beige rump. Van Beusekom said that the spaniel is unmarked and seldom seen among collectors. Pat Murphy in her book, Wade Whimsical Collectables, notes this figure is believed to be a prototype and not placed into full production, explaining its rarity.

They started as pocket playthings for children that adults liked; 10-year-old kids had pockets.” He observed that in the series, “Storybook Figures,” which includes the figurines of tinker, tailor, beggar man, and thief, children were dressed in adult clothes. These characters would appeal to kids since the series was built on a well known 1940s nursery rhyme. In the U.S. the Red Rose Tea Company placed Wade Whimsies

A promo for Red Rose Tea, the “American Heritage” group of 10 figurines is too new to be in the most recent Wade Whimsical Collectables catalogue, according to Van Beusekom. They depict U.S. symbols from colonial times to the Space Age.

The Old Times

Wade introduced nursery rhyme figures in the 1950s such as “The Butcher.” He comes from a set of three characters from a 1940s nursery rhyme: “the butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker.” These images were part of a larger category called “Storybook Figures.”

Wade Whimsies Cont. from page 8

Two of the six figurines from Wade Whimsies “British Myths and Legends” series. Recently, a complete set was offered for $325 online. In 2002 the going catalogue price for all figures was $215. Pictured here are the mermaid and St. George and the Dragon from this group.

in their boxes of tea bags. According to Wikipedia, the earliest giveaways took place only in Quebec, Canada, but the promotion soon extended to the entire country. There were test markets in the U.S. “In 1983 the promotion moved into the United States.” Although Wade has created more contemporary figurines, such as Betty Boop,

Wade issued “Humpty Dumpty,” one in a series of four sets of rhyme and storybook characters, each in a different colored box, from 1972-1981. The first “Humpty Dumpty” was produced in 1972 and came in a green box under the title, “Nursery Favourites.”

Christmas ornaments, and Peanuts characters, Van Beusekom is not interested in these collectibles. “I tend more to the older things. I like vintage like Legends of Britain, Robin Hood, and King Arthur. The

more I look at them, the more details I see.” The figurines often captivate and trigger Van Beusekom’s ability to observe tiny features

The Old Times

The mother giraffe and her progeny and the monkey on its mother’s back were created for the “Happy Families” series. The first figures in the serie were the hippo, tiger, and giraffe, manufactured from 1961 to 1985.

About 15 years ago he became aware of Wade Whimsies when a friend he knew collected them. Two years ago he became a more serious collector and has purchased hundreds of figures from England, the

Pacific Northwest, Canada, and locations sprinkled through the U.S. He finds additions to his collection at antiques stores, flea markets, garage sales, and online. “Once you know what you’re looking for, they’re pretty distinctive,” he said. His take on rare antiques is refreshing. “Rare doesn’t always mean expensive. It’s what somebody is willing to pay for it. Just because I like it doesn’t mean someone else will like it.” He studies the market to check on what others see as rare. Van Beusekom is also a dealer in Wade Whimsies. In the “Circus” series he sells inexpensive figures for $2.50. His figures in the “Animals” series start at $4. He bases his pricing on the inventory he has. In his collections are Larry and Lester, leprechaun twins produced from 1974 to 1985 in Ireland. However, most of his leprechauns come from

“Leprechaun on Pig” from the “Lucky Fair Folk” series came from Wade (Ulster) Ltd. in Northern Ireland, Armagh County. Five different colors of this version exist. They were produced from 1956 to 1986.
