American or British Sockels

Other than by looking in the DSK, is there a way to tell if it's an American or British sockel?
I think I can tell which ones are Australian and the other countries give it away by their language, but I am having a hard time distinguishing between the American and British sockels

Sorry Mo, I can't help on this one as I have so few sockels to go on.
I don't really know but is there any difference with the markings on the sockels themselves or on the smurfs?

Did you check David's site? Maybe he can do a section on what is what if it's not on there

Easy! All American are W Berrie Made in HK; all English are Schleich (W) Germany

Thanks Martin, I wasn't sure if it was that obvious or not.

Thus far, I have only given two sockels a home. I am going to have to rectify this, arent't I?

Don't worry, Sharon...I have all the confidence in the world that you will
at least you haven't started the way many of us have...by giving them away at first before realizing how much fun they are to collect

Give them away??
I think she meant sell them on ebay!! I did that with my first sockel as well ... it was the Congratulations Beer sockel (
sorry G!) because I figured I already had the beer smurf so why in the world would I want a second one? Silly fish!!

Graham, are you going for the 'beer sockel' that's on Ebay at the moment? (He was mentioned to you by another forum member not so long ago)
If not, I might do as he is rather lovely!
