TARHEEL QUALITY INSPECTION SLIP

Recently on Ebay US appeared a TARHEEL Talking Rabbit Hunt set - see the Tarheel Checklist link in the side-bar. Despite not being able to read the model number the set does reveal the only non toy specific 'paperwork' I've seen by Tarheel (there are of course instruction sheets with some Tarheel SWORD toys). Its a factory quality inspection slip - pictured above - sorry about the quality of the picture! On closer 'inspection' it doesn't actually have any reference to Tarheel on it and could be for any toy I suppose.So all in all not that significant. It's closest relative is the EMPIRE pre-production label posted previously on the blog. Empire was the successor to Tarheel in Tarboro, NC, USA.
