DESCRIPTION: THE MYTH OF THE YELLOW UMBRELLA
This yellow Umbrella shown here was originally the same colour as the no.9 variation that appears above on this page.
Over time there has been many rumours suggesting that the Yellow Umbrella variation never officially existed. The
rumours were that all yellow Umbrella variations were only just orange Hong Kong variations that had been faded in the
sun.
Whilst I was in America during the summer of 2007 a friend and I did a little experiment to see if this could actually be
done. After allowing this orange Umbrella to sitt in the summer sun for about 3 months we believe that this smurf
pictured above looks perfectly like the yellow Umbrella variations that appears in all the smurf catalogues. Therefore
caution should be taken when wanting to bid on a yellow Umbrella on Ebay. This yellow Umbrella smurf above cost me a
total of 99 US Cents but I have seen some being sold on Ebay for over $150 without any documented proof that one ever
existed.
NOTE: There is another yellow Umbrella being sold on Ebay that is very bright compared to this golden yellow Umbrella
shown above. It my opinion that this bright yellow variation is nothing more than a recently made fake. Over the last couple
of years many different coloured smurf accessories that never previously existed have suddenly appeared. I do not believe
that an authentic yellow Umbrella ever existed.....at least not one that was ever sold to the public and can be bought on
Ebay.
