Very early ( pre-WWI ) Steiff velvet covered rabbit in crouched fully extended position measuring 4” (10cm ) long from nose tip in front to end of tail in back, with separately attached long pointed ears and stubby tail with inserted dark black bead eyes. Around his neck he wears a silk ribbon collar with one brass bell dangling in front. These stuffed toys often had such accessories; the bell appears to be original, but due to the fragility of old silk the ribbon itself is surely a replacement. All these early velvet exterior animals are highly coveted and harder and harder to find with each passing day This one’s overall condition is very good with some minor anticipated wear and, any metal button it might have originally had, is no longer present. A sweet little rabbit from earliest period………SOLD.

Most charming 16” ( 41cm ) rarer cinnamon mohair Teddy with large glass eyes, swivel joints at neck , elbows, and hips, black stitched nose and mouth, and velvet covered paws ( some wear and hole on right front ). Although exact maker in unknown, the velvet paw pads are more characteristic of English bears. One might assume he is from the early 1930s. He has some overall uneven fading and mohair wear with the most pronounced loss on lower center of back and in back at the neckline of the torso. The muzzle also has some hair loss and one might assume the original hair in that area may have been a shade paler than on the rest of the body. Adorable nonetheless and priced accordingly!………………………SOLD.
