Squealer the Pig Beanie Baby

This is a Ty Inc. Beanie Baby known as 'Squealer the Pig,' originally introduced in 1993 as one of the 'Original Nine' Beanie Babies. Physically, the item is a small, hand-sized plush toy measuring approximately 8 inches in length. It is constructed from a soft, light pink polyester plush fabric and filled with plastic PVC or PE pellets, which provide its characteristic floppy weight. Notable features include small black plastic bead eyes, a wide snout with two vertical pink embroidered lines representing nostrils, and floppy ears. One of Squealer's most distinguishing elements is the curly pink felt or plush tail. The item shown retains its heart-shaped 'swing tag' attached to the left ear with a red plastic connector, which is a critical indicator of value and authenticity. This tag features the iconic red and white 'ty' logo. The plush appears to be in excellent condition with no visible stains, tears, or fur matting, suggesting 'mint' or 'near-mint' status. As an early 1990s collectible, the craftsmanship is simple yet durable, typical of the early Beanie Baby era. Authenticity often hinges on specific details within the tush tag and swing tag, such as the location of manufacture (China or Indonesia) and the generation of the tag.
