There's still time to grab a bargain from our Wade Ireland website listings. See below. Wade Ireland Production was often shared between the two sites and many of the products marked Wade England were produced in Northern Ireland. Irish Carryer (Sir George Wade's daughter) once told us she put her foot down when they were producing the Irish Leprechauns and insisted they were marked with the Wade Ireland backstamp.

A picture with Iris on one of our visits to her home. She was quite a character and it was a pleasure to listen to her many stories of her time running the Wade factory in Northern Ireland.

All those who place an order from the website during our Wade Ireland celebration weekend 15th - 16th and 17th March, will be entered into a draw. One lucky winner will take home a Vintage Wade Noddy figure. The Wade Noddy's of the 1950's were produced at the Wade Ireland Factory as well as in Stoke-on-Trent.
We'll pick a winner at 5pm Monday 15th March in our facebook.com/groups/cscollectablesdirect group. Congratulations to Tammy Sipe who was the winner of the Wade Vintage Noddy.
