I have done some searching and know this is a Hull Little Red Riding Hood. It does have the 967 marking, the Hull name, the Little Red Riding Hood and patent applied for on it. I have looked at dozens of them and can not find the brown or tan flowers anywhere! Has anyone seen this particular style and have any idea of the value? Thanks!

Mine does not have the little brown flowers either! It is the basket which sets it apart...that is all I remember..it's been 25 years! Although, the coloring on the flowers does have a small impact on value.
Sadly I do have to report that this has been checked out and is indeed a FAKE. I am glad I did not fork out big bucks but I wonder what the gentleman paid? If he thought it was real? I just knew the flowers had me baffled. So sad that people have to make FAKE ones to try and make a dollar of of someone!
