A special 24K gold leaf colorway of Baby Woody was produced in a LE somewhere between 20-25 for the Nat West Board of Directors. All of these pieces came with letters of authenticity. At the time Woody was produced, there were 19 board of directors for NatWest. Far more gold Baby Woody money boxes have been offered for sale in the last few years, even in the last few weeks, than were ever actually produced! Gold spray paint is just too easy to find!

One seller alone on eBay has sold 4 in the last couple of months! With the rarity of this piece, one should expect them to come on the market at a rate of one or less every five years or so. The original gold Woodys were special gifts to the board of directors and the most of directors would not want to sell them. See below just how many are offered for auction in this short amount of time! Notice the difference in the color of gold. Unfortunately, when dealing with on-line auctions, it is very hard to tell the difference between a "real" gold Woody and a spray painted Woody. You can be assured ALL of these are fakes.

Wade is not even sure that they were the ones that produced the Gold Woody at this time as supporting records cannot be found.

Update: Wade produced a new mold Gold Woody for a NatWest Promotion in late 2006. This is a smaller mold in a LE 250 and comes with a certificate of authenticity and is fully backstamped.
