There is no need to search for the mouse on this piece;
there are 15 mice scattered about the six friendly felines who lounge on an antique chair.
Inside the box lies a slice of Swiss cheese. When the lid is removed,
you will find the inscription “Dr 3 20.5.96.” This is a reference to,
the death of British actor Jon Pertwee, who was the third actor
to play Doctor Who in the widely popular British sci-fi television show
by the same name. The chairs have undergone numerous colouration changes.
The first 66 chairs were brown, the next 446 were green,
after which the rest, such as this piece, were painted yellow.
Hallmarks include ©, diamond, clock face with month 5, HBC logo, and Pc.
2.6" wide, 2.4" long, 2.83" high.
