OH MACKENZIE TREE...

87/213 Oh Mackenzie Tree...

NALED early release 1999
Original selling price: $17.50
Introduced: September 1999 (early NALED release); May 2000 (regular retailer release)
Issued: 1999(early NALED release); 2000 (regular retailer release)

In 1999, Oh Mackenzie Tree was releaed early to all NALED/Parkwest retailers.  This gave the NALED/Parkwet retailers the opportunity to sell Oh Mackenzie Tree for one year before it was released in 2000 to the other Charming Tails retailers.

This early release of Oh Mackenzie Tree is identical to the same piece released in 2000 with the exception of different item numbers.  The item number on both the box and understamp of the early release is 887/213; the item number for the later release is 87/213.  Some collectors think the additional number 8 on the early NALED/Parkwest release is a misprint.  F & F gave the early release the additional number 8 to differentiate between the two releases.

Below is a picture of Dean's original concept drawing of Oh Mackenzie Tree.  This piece was on the list of top sellers for 2000.
