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.

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.

Mohair covering shows some typical age wear but he is different, in a great smaller size, and a perfect item for a doll to hold in his/her arms………………………………………SOLD.
