When collecting vintage Little Twin Stars items, it's important to note that Sanrio obtained the copyright for Little Twin Stars in 1976, so all items are marked with this copyright year. However, this doesn't mean the product itself was made in 1976. Some Little Twin Stars items sold as "vintage" have been made recently.
Most items will include the year of copyright as well as the year the product was made. For example: ©1976, 1985 SANRIO CO., LTD. This can be a more reliable way to determine whether or not the item is vintage, but many items made between 1976 and 1983 don't list the year of production. If we have listed an undated item as "vintage," we have verified the production date with items from our own collection or with other collectors.
