Toby Philpots D5737 (green hat; brown coat; blue scarf with white spots). Designed by Charles Noke, issued 1937 – 1969. Size: 3.25″H (small)
A “thirsty old soul” in an 18th century drinking song, Toby is thought by some to be the source of the traditional British toby jug, in which a character sits astride a barrel of ale. Popular opinion suggests his name is a derivation of the French top’e, to toast.
