Absolutely charming, lovable, rare, and large ( 17”, 43cm- including ears ) early 1950s-era Steiff Rabbit with button and yellow cloth tag in left ear, and a paper tag sewn to the vest with the bottom edge of the cardboard chest tag irregular to show the image of the iconic Steiff bear head, and bearing the character’s “ Steiff-given “ name, “ Nikili “! The head with inserted huge light brown eyes swivels at the neck, the arms move at the shoulders, the torso and legs being one solid piece with orange felt shoes covering the “ feet “. Although the majority of the bunny is covered in the typical pale blond mohair, this character is also a member of the “ dressed animal “ series. The green felt dress/blouse is indeed the outer covering of the body in this area and cannot be removed as it is an integral part of the complete figure. The printed cotton skirt is a separate piece of clothing but is secured in back with the original pressure snap. A permanent opening in the back allows for the “ cotton -tail “ to emerge as nature would allow. A wonderful rare Steiff piece in a much larger size than normally found ( if indeed at all! )…..US$ 495.
