Comparison of the two runs of Henry gold.
Henry Gold was first issued with a blue bow artist tush tag and Hong Kong hang tag. This example seems to be set apart by its thicker shorter limbs much like Super Reggie. This Henry also has its bow cut along the same angle on either side of its bow, an attribute common among early issues of attic treasures. Most henry golds from this run seem to have a humpback.
This variation of henry gold being issued first is further confirmed by this example documented by Ruth Fraser from the first shipment.
Henry Gold with a blue bow artist tush tag and Hong Kong hang tag. This example seems to be a different run or possibly a different seamstress or factory. This variation is set apart by its slender long limbs with its bow cut flat on both sides. The ears on this run also seem to be more pronounced.
