: : : How do people aquire prototypes? Besides ebay I mean. After they leave Enesco are they sold there? Or are they sold at special events only?? I thought maybe they would be placed in a random CT box and if you found one you were lucky...lol! I know that is not true. But I know that prototypes do not come with boxes and know why they are made. So if anyone knows the journey behind them I'd be interested in knowing.

: : : My friend and I also have Bronte & gage and they are both prototypes with the same sticker dates on bottom is this common?

: : : Is there any way to know how many protoypes of one piece there is???? Just curious fun!! Thanks....

: : ......................................................
: : Great question Becky......I'm sure that Wes will have an answer or will find out for us. I just assumed that at the factory after the piece was made, that those left around were taken or given to workers, and they found their way to e-bay......I'm probably very wrong on that idea, but its a great question, I too would like to hear.

: I emailed Enesco at one time and asked them. They told me that prototypes are never sold that they are sent to their musesum. I do know that some people got them at the back door store when it was open. I asked a Ebay seller one time and she told me they were sold to
: Enesco employees. She told me that her entire collection was made up of nothing but prototypes and
: she sold her extra prototypes on Ebay.

WELL I GUESS I NEED TO GET A JOB AT ENESCO...LOL!
BECKY..
