      All I can tell you is, the republic of Ireland is the southern half of Ireland.

      It's amazing research, I had looked everywhere for him so really pleased, and he's quite rare is Larry, very unusual features for sure!

    8. Vynil33rpm Vynil33rpm, 2 years ago
      The features
      Yes ,I think with some Irish whiskey and a few trips in
      What grows ,in the woods ,,what grows in the woods ?
      the woods grow ,in the woods
      I can understand why they would see
      these little Larry’s

      Not sure if you read the museum link information..but the last bit was very interesting..at a point in the 1960s..

      "In the 1960s, Larry the Leprechaun was a prize in a promotional competition for the Irish branded butter, Kerrygold. Kerrygold’s prizes of Irish linen and Crolly dolls was so popular with British consumers that the butter company received letters from prize winters that their ‘luck had changed from the moment they got their Larry the Leprechaun’."

      Let’s hope my luck changes would be long overdue if it did ????

      Well ..your questions were answered, so that's a start! Normally I don't even click on doll posts..so that was lucky. Not only that, but I came back again and looked further till I found the information..
    13. Vynil33rpm Vynil33rpm, 2 years ago
      Yes but Luck is luck and Faith is faith

      So pleased I really had been stumped with Larry, good wishes to you both for your time :) keeping positive is also key!
