Raccoon Ornaments collection:
(Much thanks to Aunt Diane, Aunt Sue, Gram Gram, and my wife)
Starting on the left:

(Left) Same ornament as 2 below in a better angle.

The raccoon on the skateboard is at least 21 years old. It took a vacation at a friend's house for quite a few years until I found it again!
The one grabbing for the sock is also old enough to drink while the female coon in the basket was bought at Wal Mart less than 7 years ago.
Pocohanta's friends were very hard to take a picture of, while the one with the compass (have 2 of him) is another from Hallmark that's quite 'old', for a Christmas ornament anyway. I have 2 of the coons on the stump (far right), bought from Macys about 6-7 years ago.
I've had to trash one or two throughout the years, including the earlier version of the 1997 bobsled with a different paint scheme (also bought from Hallmark years ago). Very few raccoon ornaments through the years have had the years on them. The one with pinecones was bought from Macys (I have two of those) before the big (& bigger) merger. (We really need another Teddy Roosevelt!)
The campbel soup can-phones are a set (bought from Hallmark years ago), and have to be one of my favorite of all my coon ornaments. The one nearly hidden is a raccoon on a candy cane motorcycle. What ever year that one came out was the year I became out of touch with Lovell Parsons.
1991 the year my wife & I graduated
Santa riding the coon is the last one I've bought.
