Museum quality CETACEANS

Almost all collectors of vintage plastic animals figures are familiar with the Invicta Blue Whale in the British Museum of Natural History series, and here in a photo it is included for comparison of size with a lesser known and very similar figure - a nice companion piece in a different pose and slightly larger is this Blue Whale in a diving pose that was issued in 1961 by the Smithsonian Institution by Precision Model for the exhibition 'Monsters of the Deep'. It has the same coloration and same solid plastic construction as the Invicta model. And as this post is about vintage plastic Cetaceans I include a photograph of a bottlenose dolphin marked R.A.M. Studios which I have been told was issued in 1966 by the Royal Alberta Museum in Canada although I have found no literature other than a copyright to substantiate this. This figure has

all the same quality as the Invicta series.

What a wonderful oldie

indeed!

Vintage cetacean figures are extremely rare and those you're showing are museum pieces? Besides being very interesting, I'm convinced those are very illusive pieces.
Thanks for sharing them.
