This poor mouse will never get better, he's been taking the wrong medicine to relieve his tummy ache. Instead of taking Relief there are reportedly 300 pieces misspelled Pelief.
Another collector reported that her piece has a clear drop coming out of the medicine bottle, instead of a pink drop.
I included photos of my own piece so you can compare them to Scooters. In Scooters photo, the medicine bottle is facing in the opposite direction. It also has no pink drop, and the bottle has a wide pink strip of paint on its underside that runs from the bottom of the bottle to the top. My piece has a pink drop and no pink paint on its underside.
If you compare our medicine labels, you can read Scooters from the front photo and mine from the rear photo. Scooters label appears to be more vibrant than my label colors. Scooters bottom is a light gold/tan color and mine is green felt.
While standing at a vendor's table at the Christmas Dove signing event, I picked up the piece Get Well Soon to explain to a collector recent variations found on the piece. When I turned it over to tell her about the strange bottom on Scooter's piece (shown below), I discovered her bottom was painted white with only the CT logo. This is how F & F marks their sample pieces, a rare find.
