KEY

3 main versions of 4g hang tag

1) Waterloo tag – Oakbrook/Waterloo/Deutschlan
2) Fareham tag – Oakbrook/Fareham/Deutschland
3) “Ty Canada” tag – Oakbrook/Fareham/Canada

What does bolded mean?

This is in reference to the text inside the yellow star on the front of the 4th generation hang tag. Earlier tags have a bolder font that has rounded edges. The later 4th generation tags I do not indicate as bolded will have a lighter, non-bolded font with sharp 90-degree edges to each letter instead of rounded edges.

“SUFRACE”   VS. “SURFACE”

The 3rd generation tush tags were initially misspelling “SUFRACE” later corrected to “SURFACE”. 4th and 5th generation tush tags will have the correct spelling only.

    I want to know if anyone knows anything about the 1993 Ty Classic Plush Chesnut the Squirrel. I have one and he is in excellent condition with tags. Is he valuable? I can’t find him anywhere online.
