Prince With Tulip Tag
The latest addition to Sal's Attic is a 6th generation Prince with a Tulip hang tag. Tulip was pictured in the 1998 Ty Catalog as the mirror image of Shelby; she was listed with Shelby's style number, 6024. No Shelbys with Tulip hang tags have ever been verified, but prior to this discovery, a Tulip hang tag was found on a 6th generation Nicholas owned by Lori Greenbeck. What is very interesting about the Tulip tag is that the style number on the back of the tag, 6078, belongs to Rose. One theory is that there was an error in the 1998 Ty Catalog; Shelby should have been listed as Shelby. Furthermore, the Tulip name and hang tags were really intended for Rose, but perhaps because Ty already produced a Plush pig by the name of Tulip, her name was changed to Rose. It is interesting to note that Ivy, style #6076, Iris, style #6077, and Rose, style #6078, the three bunny sisters with consecutive style numbers all named for flowers, were all introduced in the 1998 catalog, the same catalog in which Shelby was pictured as Tulip.
